President Biden Raises Refugee Cap To 62,500

President Biden raised the US refugee cap to 62,500 for the fiscal year, reversing the previous limit of 15,000 set by the Trump administration. However, due to the pandemic and other limitations, the US is unlikely to meet this new cap. The delay in policy implementation has led to numerous canceled flights for refugees who were already cleared to enter the US, with some waiting for years for this opportunity.
