Foreign Policy for America Statement on White House Announcement on Refugee Admissions

Washington, DC – Foreign Policy for America applauds President Biden’s announcement that the United States will welcome 62,500 refugees in 2021, and we look forward to the administration further realizing its commitment to refugees when it increases the admissions cap to 125,000 in FY 2022.

“The most powerful thing we can do as a country is to lead by example,” said Andrew Albertson, Executive Director of Foreign Policy for America. “Today’s announcement from President Biden makes it clear that the United States is ready to lead again.”
