FY 2019 Refugee Admissions: Below-Average

9,305 in Total; 82.5% Christians, 14% Muslims

Five months into the fiscal year, the Trump administration has admitted a total of 9,305 refugees into the United States, an admission rate well below the average needed to meet the 30,000 ceiling for FY 2019 which it set last fall.

According to State Department Refugee Processing Center data, monthly admissions since the start of the current fiscal year were 1,834 in October, 2,150 in November, 1,722 in December, 1,455 in January and 2,144 in February – in each case below the 2,500 monthly average that would add up to the 30,000 ceiling.

The 30,000 ceiling is the lowest since the U.S. refugee admissions program was established in 1980. The FY 2018 ceiling was 45,000, although the actual resettlements that year totaled just 22,491 – the lowest number since 1980..........

Let's cut down the muslim percentage to ZERO.

   That was my first thought as well.  I'd still like to see zero immigration (legal and illegal) and zero asylum for at least the next couple of years.
