Biden is nowhere close to hitting his refugee goals
According to this article on Axios, by Stef W. Kight, Jonathan Swan
“Biden officials expect to fall short by about 100,000 refugees on their goal to resettle 125,000 in the U.S. this fiscal year, according to two sources with direct knowledge of internal estimates.
Why it matters: The U.S. refugee system was drastically curtailed by the Trump administration and has since been beset by pandemic closures. Understaffed agencies have also been tasked with handling a surge in other types of humanitarian applications from Afghans and Ukrainians.
By the numbers: As of the end of June, 15,000 refugees had been resettled in the U.S. since Oct. 1, 2021, according to government data. The government expects to reach around 25,000 by the end of September, the sources said.”
