Trump to reduce refugee intake to 7500: who will get priority.
The Trump administration plans to significantly reduce the quota for refugee intake
According to inkorr.com: The plans of US President Donald Trump's administration have shocked many: in the upcoming fiscal year, the quota for refugee intake will be reduced to 7500 people. This is a serious cut compared to the previous 125,000 places that were set during Biden's presidency. Some spots will be reserved for white Afrikaners from South Africa and other groups that face discrimination. This information was reported by The New York Times, citing documents and sources familiar with the situation.
The decision signed on September 30 will result in thousands of families losing hope for a better life as the refugee limit is reduced to a record low. This closes the door for many people who have waited for years for the opportunity to obtain refugee status. The asylum program will be reoriented to support white South Africans, which has sparked a wave of criticism from Democrats in Congress.
Democrats in Congress have sharply criticized these plans, accusing the Trump administration of 'complete failure to consult' with Congress regarding the limit.
Congress members emphasize that closing the refugee program contradicts the American promise to be a refuge for those who face persecution, and will lead to devastating consequences for around 130,000 conditionally approved refugees who remain without support and hope.
Polls show a decline in Trump's popularity
Recent polling results indicate a drop in support for US President Donald Trump to 43%. This is the lowest figure of the year, which arose after a decline from 46% and 45% in previous months. 57% of respondents expressed disapproval of his actions, which is an increase compared to the beginning of the year.
The Trump administration continues to prepare for a sharp reduction in refugee intake, favoring white Afrikaners from South Africa. This has provoked negative reactions from Democrats in Congress, who view such plans as inhumane and contrary to US traditions in refugee acceptance. The president's rating has also reached a record low, indicating a decline in his popularity among Americans.
In light of the changing US immigration policy, many refugees may find themselves without hope for a better life. Given the resonance and criticism from Democrats in Congress, this situation may lead to further discussions about the country's immigration policy. Such steps by the Trump administration are likely to have serious consequences for thousands of people hoping for protection and support from the US.Read also
