Biden's Administration Upholds Refugee Admission Goals Amidst Upcoming Elections

The Biden administration aims to maintain its target of admitting 125,000 refugees in the coming year, as revealed in an internal report. This plan, if successful, would mark the highest refugee intake in three decades and becomes a significant election issue as Kamala Harris runs against Donald Trump.

The Biden administration is set to uphold its target of accepting 125,000 refugees in the next fiscal year, according to an internal report reviewed by Reuters.

This marks an ongoing commitment to increasing refugee admissions, a major point of contention in the upcoming election where Kamala Harris will face off against Donald Trump.

The administration is on track to admit 100,000 refugees through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in fiscal year 2024. If successful, it would be the highest refugee intake in three decades, reflecting core U.S. values of generosity and humanitarianism.
