Beyond numbers, this administration has managed to change the purpose of the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program.
As provided for in the Refugee Act of 1980, President Biden has set the FY 2025 refugee admissions ceiling at 125,000, the same as FY 2024 and FY 2023.
In FY 2024 (October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024), a total of 100,034 refugees were resettled in the United States.
FY 2024 has ended, and the Biden-Harris expansion of the U.S.
For a detailed count of FY 2024 refugee admissions, see below.
Refugee Resettlement Program resulted, as expected, in the admission of more than 100,000 refugees, the highest number in three decades.
FY 2024’s other big refugee change is that the Biden-Harris administration has significantly increased resettlement from Latin America, ostensibly to discourage illegal border crossings from that region; in other words, offering refugee resettlement as an alternative to coming here illegally.
The actual number admitted from Latin America in FY 2024 was 25,358, quadruple the FY 2023 number of 6,312.
