Ten weeks in to Fiscal Year 2017 and Texas still
leads all states in refugees resettled, by
Ann Corcoran 12/16/16
I mostly wanted to know what the
numbers are looking like because I’m sure the Obama Administration is pouring
them in as fast as they can before January 20th, the day Donald Trump moves in
to the White House.
So checking Wrapsnet.org this
morning, and to make it easy on myself (with the math) I checked the data from
October 1, 2016 to December 10, 2016 (exactly ten weeks) and this is what I
found. We admitted 21,117 refugees from all over the world in those
ten weeks. That is a rate of approximately 2,112 per week so far
this fiscal year which is way beyond anything we have seen in years. See
the monthly rates for
the last ten years here.
And here is the list of the top ten
states so far: Texas 2041, California 1881,
New York 1235, Arizona 1156, Michigan 1100, Ohio 1075, Washington 1048,
Georgia 822, Pennsylvania 810, Kentucky 731. Clearly the feds are not
respecting the wishes of the Texas governor.
For all sorts of data and reports,
visit two important categories here at RRW. Visit ‘Refugee statistics’ and ‘Where to find
information.’ Both are categories where I
post information like this.
I’ll try to do one of these reports
for some of the primary ethnic groups over the coming days. I always try to use
fiscal year which runs, in this case, from October 1, 2016 to September 30,
2017, because the Refugee Admissions Program operates on a fiscal year
basis. So, if you see numbers being reported elsewhere, take note of
whether the reporter is using the fiscal year or calendar year.
