President Biden initially planned on keeping the Trump cap on refugees but suddenly reversed course and increased the capped to 62,000.00. (Politico)

Donald Trump played to his base when all else failed and the ridiculous low limit he placed on refugees was emblematic of this constant pandering to the hard core MAGA base. President Biden has inexplicably committed several unforced errors in the immigration and border control arena, the refusal to immediately lift the 15,000 cap on refugees was one of them. America is a nation of immigrants and must continue to be a ‘shining city on a hill’, part of that is rejoicing in the fact we are a beacon of democracy that attracts refugees who are fleeing horrifying circumstances in their own nations. Closing borders and looking inward helps no one at all.
