The annual number of refugees to be admitted into the United States under the U.S. refugee resettlement program, also known as ceiling, is set by the president after "Consultation" with Congress at the start of each fiscal year.
On Friday, September 29, the Biden administration announced that it was setting the refugee ceiling for FY 2024 at 125,000.
Low refugee admissions under Biden were becoming a trend.
Low refugee admissions under Biden despite his administration's commitment to welcoming refugees was due to numerous factors.
Here's why: The Biden administration is modernizing the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
The Biden administration has also expanded USRAP. In January 2023, it launched the Welcome Corps program, "The boldest innovation in refugee resettlement in more than 40 years".
The program is called the "Welcome Corps on Campus" and is designed to welcome refugees straight to U.S. dorms and campuses, allowing for "U.S. higher education institutions to serve as resettlement spaces and academic opportunities for refugee students".
