The government has authorized 70,000 refugees to be resettled in the United States in fiscal year 2015, which began Oct. 1. The cap is set by the White House, which works with Congress and takes into account funding and the potential social and economic impact of refugees in the country.
About 51,000 refugees from all over the world have been resettled here through July, according to data compiled by the Refugee Processing Center. The State Department says the U.S. will likely reach or come close to meeting the 70,000 cap.
āāWe have to be very careful about who we let enter this country from

Yeah boy a starving 3 yr old and his/her mom and dad are a real threat. So much for all that "compassionate conservative " bullshit.
Carly, these folks are trying to avoid violence, not spread it around. they have left hearth and home WITH ALMOST NOTHING ā¦ in many cases not even a change of clothes. If they have nothing what the heck can they blow up or terrorize somebody with?
her ancestors got in ā¦ but people like her called them names like āWith Out Papersā and other slurs ā¦ and would hang signs in their business telling them (using slur) not to apply.
Okay, Missy Smarty Pants, are we going to deport all the Cubans who came here as refugees seeking political asylum? You know, historygoes back further than the cay you were conceived. Things are never as black and white as you GOTPrās think they are.
There are Afghans who risked their lives and those of their families to translate for the army and our government people who didnāt speak Pashtun. Now they cannot get US entry visas or if they can they are still waiting for them and in many cases they have waited for years in hiding for fear of the Taliban.
No surprise here. The GOP donāt want to take care of the poor (elderly, children, young and middle-aged adults, disabled) in this nation ā why on earth would they want to extend a welcoming and helping hand to those in need from around the world? Good gosh, people, get your priorities straight.
During the 1930s and even after the war began, the US sadly couldnāt relax its entrance criteria for European Jews either. Now, as then, Exceptional America has its nativist heritage to preserve.
