According to data published on Friday by the Department of homeland security, the number of refugeeswho came to the United States in the first three months of the presidency of the trump, has decreased almost twice compared to the last months of the Obama presidency.
Over the past three months, the US has admitted a total of 13 000 refugees. For comparison, at the end of the presidential term of Barack Obama, the permission to enter USA received 25 000 refugees. Sredi of the countries from which people are fleeing, most often found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Myanmar.
Presidential decree Obama ruled that the United States can arrive 110,000 refugees. Trump has reduced this figure to 50,000. Congress approved the budget, which provides funding of 75 000 refugees. The U.S. state Department spokesman said that the country currently receives only 900 refugees a weekto stay within this budget.
The decision of the President of the trump evoke mixed reactions in political circles: many supporters of his praise and fewer people are subjected to his actions criticized. Erol Kekic, Executive Director of immigration and refugees from Church World Service, compared the new program for working with immigrants with a crane that can be easily opened or closed at any time.
A Federal court blocked the presidential decrees trump banning immigrants from Muslim countries to enter the United States. But reducing the number of entry permits has undermined the work before the finely-tuned mechanism of work financed from the Federal budget, which starts with a serious 18-month security checks abroad.
Despite the court’s decision on the cancellation of his decree, the trump stubbornly committed to a significant reduction in the number of refugees allowed to enter the United States.
