President Obama’s proposed refugee admissions for FY2017, which he submitted to Congress for approval, requests that refugee admissions be increased 30 percent over FY2016, from 85,000 to 110,000. The requested budget to administer the program in FY2017 is $1.54 billion, which only includes the costs of resettlement, not the cost of benefits refugees receive after they come to the United States.
The report goes into great detail about why the White House believes that the number should be raised, but it spends no time discussing how the vetting process can be improved to screen out national security risks, or how refugees and displaced persons can be best helped by providing resources to protect them in regions closest to their homes.
