In Reversal, Biden Raises the Refugee Admission Cap to 62,500
In his statement, Mr. Biden acknowledged that the government was unlikely to resettle 62,500 refugees because of budget and staffing cuts that agencies sustained during Mr. Trump’s administration. Mr. Biden did not say whether the government had already managed to accept the 15,000 refugees allowed by his predecessor.
“The sad truth is that we will not achieve 62,500 admissions this year,” (?) he said. “We are working quickly to undo the damage of the last four years. It will take some time, but that work is already underway.”
So he's having his cake and eating it too. I don't like this.
