WASHINGTON – In an abrupt reversal, President Joe Biden signed an emergency determination on Friday that will limit the number of refugees allowed to resettle in the United States to 15,000 – keeping a Trump-era cap in a move critics called a "shameful" betrayal.
In February, Biden promised to lift the refugee cap to 62,500. But he changed course with little explanation, announcing the news on Friday through a senior administration official who said the White House needed to rebuild a broken U.S. resettlement program inherited from the Trump administration.
Democrats and human rights groups blasted the about-face in blistering term.
Rep. Ilham Omar, D-Minn., called Biden's decision to keep the Trump-era cap "shameful."

Trump should have made it 0. Or limit it to women, children and elderly from legitimately war torn countries only.
Healthy 20 year old male syrians should not be refugees

Good. He deserves buyers remorse.

My favorite “poor wore torn” refugees were the ones with the iPhones. I.e. the large majority.

The article says he’s backtracking back to the original stance?

They already cut his gonads out and are now stuffing the little sack with tobacco.
He flipped back, will set the limit by May 15th.

Face it. Trump was right on the border policies. Now enjoys bipartisan support.
