“Joe Biden Brings 3K Refugees to U.S. from Countries Exporting Terrorism,” by John Binder, Breitbart, October 11, 2021:
President Joe Biden’s administration resettled more than 3,000 refugees from countries known to export terrorism that had previously been listed on former President Donald Trump’s constitutional travel ban.
In May, President Joe Biden announced he would raise the refugee resettlement cap to 62,500 refugees for Fiscal Year 2021 — more than four times the cap that former President Trump imposed for the year at about 15,000 refugees.
The Fiscal Year started on October 1, 2020, and ran through September 30. The annual cap set by presidents is merely a numerical limit and not intended to be a numerical goal.
In January, Biden signed an executive order that ended Trump’s constitutional travel ban which had prevented almost all immigration to the U.S. from particular countries with a history of exporting terrorism.
As a result, more than 3,000 refugees from countries listed on Trump’s travel ban were resettled across the U.S. this past Fiscal Year, including:
175 refugees from Iran
1,246 refugees from Syria
7 refugees from Yemen
174 refugees from Somalia
3 refugees from Venezuela
772 refugees from Myanmar
184 refugees from Eritrea
513 refugees from Sudan
Thanks to Trump’s reduction in the refugee resettlement program, a little more than 11,400 refugees in total were resettled in Fiscal Year 2021 — a huge cut to Obama era levels and far below Biden’s cap of 62,500.
