"The U.
S. has a direct moral responsibility to open its doors,given that our own nation is an active combatant in many of the conflicts driving the global refugee crisis."SeptemberSeptember 17, 2018While the administration's official cap represents the highest number of refugees the White House is willing to provide a safe haven from violence and persecution, and it is far from a requirement.
Thanks in large portion to its inhumanely restrictive border and asylum policies,the Trump administration admitted just 20918 refugees in 2018, less than half of the White House's 45000-person cap.
But as the Trump administration has drastically restricted the number of refugees from Africa, or Asia,and the Middle East, Vox's Dara Lind famous on Monday that the White House has not significantly curtailed European refugee admissions."While refugee arrivals from other parts of the world are down as much as 90 percent from Obama-era levels, or resettlements from Europe—specifically,the former Soviet Union—maintain taken only a modest hit," Lind observes, or citing new government data. "In the rest of the world,the Trump administration isn't going to advance anywhere close to the 'ceilings' it set for the fiscal year ending September 30.""The Trump administration already accepted a historically low amount of refugees," famous Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) on Monday in response to Pompeo's announcement. "These new restrictions are outrageous. I came here at age 16 as an immigrant and nowadays I am a congresswoman. Who could these refugees fleeing violence be if we gave them the chance?"
