Trump Proposes Lowest Refugee Admission Ceiling in Decades
(CNSNews.com) – The Trump administration’s proposed ceiling of 45,000 refugees to be resettled in the United States in the new fiscal year is the lowest cap set since the Refugee Act was passed in 1980.
On Wednesday the administration sent to Congress a report on its refugee admission plans for FY 2018. The 45,000 ceiling is a 59 percent drop from the 110,000 cap set by the Obama administration a year ago for FY 2017. (President Trump’s January 27 executive order lowered that to 50,000.)

IIRC, the President has the authority to set or eliminate entirely the admission of people from other countries, as a matter of national security. He doesn't need to 'propose' squat, just do it.

45,000 is far FAR too high.
How about 4,500?
Or... 450?

I want 4.5. Everything's more fun with midgets.
