President Joe Biden on Sept. 27 announced that he will keep in place the current cap on refugee admissions at 125,000 for fiscal year 2023, while also allowing hundreds of thousands of people to cross the border illegally and stay indefinitely in the United States.
In a Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions published by the White House, Biden said the cap on refugees will remain the same as it was in fiscal 2021, after he doubled the cap on admissions from the previous year.
