After angering fellow Democrats weeks ago, President Joe Biden is capitulating to the Far Left by quadrupling the cap on refugee submissions to the U.S.
After announcing his intentions to do so in February, President Biden on Tuesday raised the nation s cap to 62,500 after his concern over unemployed Americans angered fellow Democrats who demanded Biden distance himself from Donald Trump.
Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform points out that President Biden weeks ago said he intended to keep the cap at 15,000 over concerns about unemployment a year into the business-crushing COVID-19 pandemic.

Just like under the Obama administration, Texas has taken the lead in suing the current White House this time over the Biden-Harris open-border policies.
One of the lawsuits centers around the threat of COVID. Ira Mehlman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform calls it a valid case.
“Here you have people coming into the United States illegally, many of them are infected with COVID. They ve been tested and in many cases released even after they tested positive.”
Texas also wants the White House to reinstate President Trump s remain in Mexico policy. Mehlman says the best they can hope for is a court telling the government to enforce laws already on the books.
/PRNewswire/ Less than three weeks ago, President Joe Biden announced that he would maintain the 15,000 cap on resettlement of refugees due to exigent.

The annual refugee resettlement kerfuffle is underway. As usual, on one side are the immigration expansionists: President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, congressional Democrats with, for good measure, the predictable Republican Party defectors, immigration lawyers who see $$$ in their futures, resettlement agencies that also profit disproportionately, and the tirelessly active pro-immigration lobby.
On the other side are American voters who want to see an admission cap that’s consistent with the nation’s ability to absorb refugees, the current economy and, in 2021, the possible consequences from a still-threatening COVID-19 that refugees might carry. Americans also want to maintain the country’s well-deserved image as a compassionate, caring nation.
