Syrian refugee Mahmoud Mansour, 47, helps his youngest daughter Sahar, 8, with her homework at his rented apartment in Amman, Jordan, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. President Joe Biden has vowed to restore America's place as a world leader in offering sanctuary to the oppressed by raising the cap on the number of refugees allowed in each year.
“We’ve seen how the sole concentration of refugee policy in the White House can wreak such destruction in the wrong hands,” Vignarajah said. As president, Donald Trump targeted the refugee program under his anti-immigration policies, dropping admissions yearly until they reached a record low of 15,000 for fiscal year 2021, which started in October. Historically, the average has been 95,000 under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
He’s also vowed to seek legislation setting an annual baseline of 95,000 refugee admissions, which would help stabilize funding for resettlement agencies. Biden’s campaign said the number could go beyond that “commensurate with our responsibility, our values and the unprecedented global need.” Biden has said he wants to make it easier for refugees to get to the United States by expanding efforts to register and process them abroad and making higher education visas available to those seeking safety. He’s also indicated more priority should be given to Latin Americans, especially Venezuelans whose numbers now rival Syrians among the largest group of displaced people.
I cannot tell you how ashamed I was of Trumps order. We created many of these refugee situation playing with other countries political situations. We armed and trained the very gangs these prople are fleeing.
Democrats want cheap laborers.
...by-the-book immigration applications are backed up by the hundreds and are stalled. These should be a higher priority than refugee admittance! Regular immigration applications have been on hold...some for two years, for no reason ....
Whaaaattt? protecting the world´s oppressed then stop bombing the world.
1 yr has passed the only research paper for a natural origin of COVID-19 is the infamous study published last March in Nature: the Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2. At least two authors are getting money from China. One is honored by CCP. The virus was made & leaked from a PLA lab.
Hell no let us stay broke they don’t need nothing from us I’m tired of spending my money on them if they come here we pay no more taxes let them pay taxes instead of us
AngryJoeShow That you man?!
there are countless other countries they can go to
: your wording is tragically misleading. You meant Trump reduced the number of refugees accepted by the US. In fact the number of refugees in the world continues growing. And the US under Trump simply did an even worse job taking them in.
Don't look now but Democrats set in motion a reign of unparalleled anti-Chinese, racist, anti-immigration terror which lasted decades with the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. It was finally repealed in 1943 but xenophobia continues to this day.
Everyone should check out what’s happening in Denmark in regards to immigration
Lmao protecting the worlds oppressed
Sure because the really smart thing to do when 11 million Americans are out of work is to bring in more low skilled labor that will hurt minority communities the most.... 🙄
Why am I under the impression that the vote to impeach is more about “how will this affect my ability to be re-elected“ rather than “Is Trump guilty?” This is so wrong, leads to future Presidents becoming Dictators. He needs to be tried in court. RETWEET!
By oppressing America's poor.
What about the American People?
“Objective” “news”.
Send them elsewhere. We can’t even deal with the needs of the people we have.
They tried to change America, back to the 17th century! That is what they meant by “make america great again”! We caught them just in time! America will always be a multicultural Nation that welcomes all!
You mean the democrats are bringing in new voters for the next scam election. Don’t think for a minute if these people didn’t equal votes and power the left would give a fig.
Crazy.
Good.
Keep brown out of America!!!
