Biden seeks to appease ultra-right with refugee policy
President Joe Biden abruptly reversed himself on how many refugees the United States would accept this year, after a political firestorm erupted when the White House announced it was retaining the ceiling of 15,000 refugees set by his predecessor Donald Trump.
Biden had pledged during the election campaign to raise the ceiling on refugees to 125,000 a year still a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of refugees created by US-instigated wars and conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, the principal driving force of recent mass migrations.
