"President Biden is raising the U.S. refugee admissions cap to 125,000 from 62,500, a person familiar with the matter said, in line with his goal from the 2020 campaign https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-administration-to-raise-refugee-admissions-cap-to-125-000-11632165286?mod=e2tw"

"While I'm disappointed in the projected number of refugees to be admitted this fiscal year, I acknowledge the challenges the Biden Administration inherited with the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program due to the anti-immigrant actions of the previous Administration."

"Facing the greatest refugee crisis in our time, I know the Biden Administration is working to restore the United States' longstanding bipartisan tradition of providing safety to the world's most vulnerable refugees--including Afghan refugees."
