On the same day that President Joe Biden said he’d reduced illegal border crossings by 60% at the southwest border, he announced Monday a sweeping extension of refugee admissions for foreign nationals and “habitual residents” of countries in multiple continents.
The first expands a refugee admission process to 125,000 foreign nationals from countries around the world.
The second opens a refugee admission process to foreign nationals and those with “habitual residence in” Cuba, Iraq, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, Eurasia, the Baltics, among others, with no numerical limitation.
