The Trump administration is currently considering how many refugees we should welcome into our country. But, this past week, Politico reported that the administration is considering proposing a number as low as ZERO refugee arrivals.
This unconscionable proposal would end the lifesaving work of refugee resettlement in the United States and betray our long history as a haven for those seeking refuge. We must call on our elected leaders to return refugee resettlement to least 95,000 arrivals a year and end the attacks on asylum.
