Each year, the President, in consultation with Congress, sets a cap on refugee admissions for the fiscal year. Since 1980, the U.S. government has failed to consistently admit the designated number of refugees for each fiscal year. This presentation highlights this issue and provides creative solutions to help make the U.S. refugee processing program more effective. This presentation also explores the merits of the U.S government’s new private refugee sponsorship program, Welcome Corps.
