As
you know we track the monthly refugee admissions numbers at the US State
Department affiliate we call simply Wrapsnet.
In
a few days we will also check the list for incoming Iraq and Afghanistan
so-called special immigrant visa holders. Their numbers have been helping
keep paying client numbers up for the federal contractors, the Volags, whose
budgets are built around numbers of incoming refugees via a per head payment.
President
Trump set the ceiling for the fiscal year (2018) back in September of 2017 at
45,000. That number is a ceiling, a cap, and not a target that has to be
reached. We are way below the pace to reach 45,000.
This past month, May, we admitted 2,132 which is above the monthly
average of 1,741 for the previous 7 months. 23,000 could now be considered a
reasonable final number when the fiscal year ends on September 30th (assuming
the stepped up pace holds).
Below
is a map from Wrapsnet of
where the 14,321 have been placed so far.
