U.S. slashes number of refugees It will accept

Kaitlyn Boelter-Eberhardt

On Monday, the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released a statement saying that the United States would be lowering their capacity intake of refugees from 45,000 (2018) to 30,000 as of the following year (2019). This will be the lowest the intake has ever reached since its start in 1980 and many people are appalled by these sudden drops in numbers. Senators and Representatives are speaking out against the release including remarks such as "the decision is truly repugnant" or "It will surely go down as one of the ugliest chapters of Trump's presidency." President Donald Trump will make the final call on the numbers after speaking with Congress.
