Public Pressure Forces Biden to Reverse Plan for More Refugees

Neil Munro 16 Apr 2021

President Joe Biden’s team told selected reporters Friday they would not try to rush more refugees into American communities in 2021.

The planned 2021 inflow of 15,000 refugees was set in 2020 by President Donald Trump. Biden’s plan had promised to spike the 2021 inflow up to 62,500.

The New York Times reported:

The Biden administration will keep the target of refugee admissions for this year at the historically low level set by the Trump administration, walking back an earlier pledge to welcome more than 60,000 refugees into the United States.

A White House official told the New York Times that the reversal was caused by public opposition to the border chaos:

A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the decision-making, said the administration grew concerned that the surge of border crossings by unaccompanied minors was too much and had already overwhelmed the refugee branch of the Department of Health and Human Services.

They ain't gonna rush them into South Dakota, South Carolina or Iowa as the governors already drew the redline.

Now, if the other red states would follow, future refugees would all be settled into the blue states.

So if the numbers do not lessen and the media keeps the influx a secret, no ones to blame if the numbers do not slacken, right?  I smell the stench of slick willys word games being played here.  Depending on what the meaning of the word is,is.
