AOC rips into Biden for keeping ‘racist’ Trump-era refugee cap
Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, on Friday tore into President Biden for keeping refugee admissions at 15,000 for this fiscal year, the same levels set by the Trump administration -- with the Democratic congressman calling the levels "xenophobic and racist."
The Trump administration dramatically reduced the number of refugees the U.S. brought in every year, down to just 15,000 for FY2021. A senior administration official said Friday that Biden will be signing an emergency presidential determination to keep the number at 15,000 while changing the regional allocation of who is brought in -- allowing more slots from Africa, the Middle East and Central America, while ending restrictions on Somalia, Yemen and Syria.More Related News
