Raise the Refugee Cap! Ask President Biden to Keep His Word


Raise the Refugee Cap! Ask President Biden to Keep His Word
The Issue
According to the Washington Post, "Biden is on track to accept the fewest refugees this year of any modern president, including Trump, according to a report released Friday from the International Rescue Committee, a nonprofit humanitarian aid group." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-refugees-trump-policies-intact/2021/04/11/d3cd4c36-9aef-11eb-9d05-ae06f4529ece_story.html
President Biden PROMISED that he would raise the refugee cap and admit those most in need into the United States, upholding this country's humanitarian legacy. Despite announcing that he would do so, he has failed to sign a presidential determination to make it happen, leaving thousands of children and families in the lurch, waiting to resettle but unable due to to Biden's "unexplained" and "unjustified" delay.
Tell President Biden to keep his work and raise the refugee cap now!
