Trump cutting Obama-era refugee admissions 77%
Washington Examiner, Mar 21, 2018, Paul Bedard

The Trump administration, which has proposed a massive 60 percent reduction in refugee admissions from the Obama-era high of 110,000, is expected to cut that number even deeper. according to preliminary estimates.

Experts evaluating the administration’s latest refugee totals now predict a slash of over 77 percent, to 25,000 refugees a year.

The national quota was lowered drastically by the Trump administration from 2018. His quota is, like, 45,000. Likely by the end of the year the number will be substantially less than even that,” according to Don Barnett, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and widely published on refugee resettlement and asylum issues.

At a Tuesday conference, he added that Trump could “zero out” refugees, because it is up to the president to set levels.

Refugees can still enter the U.S. if they can prove close familial relationships to people that are already in the country. This new exemption is the result of a Supreme Court ruling in late June on Trump's travel ban executive order.

Congress would have to carve out restrictions on chain migration for one group.....and they won't do that. 

Call your representatives and tell them you want the President's immigration reform bill, with the wall, passed and passed quickly.

Once this passes we can put it all together vis-à-vis refugees:  We'll have fewer, from fewer trouble spots, with better vetting and chain migration limited to spouse and dependent children. 

Plus, we'll also have a wall.  ^-^

No. It's more than that. This is a fairly significant halt to the number pouring into the country.
