Trump to Cut Obama’s Refugee Inflow by At Least 80 Percent Next Year

President Trump is seeking to reduce former President Obama’s refugee inflow to the United States by at least 80 percent next year, a promise he made on the campaign trail in 2016.
In a State Department announcement on Thursday, officials said that the annual refugee resettlement ceiling would be lowered from its current 30,000 to 18,000 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 — which runs from October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2020. This is merely a numerical limit and not a goal federal officials are supposed to reach.
State Department officials said they expect to process more than 350,000 foreign nationals in new asylum cases next year; thus, a reduction in refugee resettlement offsets this historically high humanitarian immigration level.
