President Joe Biden announced Monday that he would be raising the refugee admissions cap for the current fiscal year to 62,500 from the previous administration’s 15,000 refugee cap.
In a statement, Biden said that the new cap “will also reinforce efforts that are already underway to expand the United States’ capacity to admit refugees, so that we can reach the goal of 125,000 refugee admissions that I intend to set for the coming fiscal year.”
