Good news: Less Than 20,000 Refugees Resettled in U.S. with One Month Left in Fiscal Year
Less than 20,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States so far in FY 2018, with just one month left in the fiscal year.
At this rate, fewer than 22,000 refugees will be admitted into the country in FY 2018, which ends on September 30 – the lowest number of refugee arrivals in more than three decades since the passage of the Refugee Act of 1980.
This marks a steep decline from the number of refugees admitted each year under the previous administrations of President Barack Obama and President George W. Bush.
In FY 2016, the last full year of the Obama administration, 84,995 refugees were admitted to the United States....
CAIRCO Note
This is good news, especially if the downward trend in admissions continues.
Yet there appear to be no White refugees admitted from South Africa - a stunning deficiency in the refugee admissions system.
