I should have used the term "people who have been granted asylum" instead of the word "refugees".
But that still doesn't negate the point that Biden has reclassified what used to be called illegals, as "people who have been granted asylum". That allows him to claim the illegal problem at the border has been solved by semantics.Nah, you'd still be wrong.
In FY 2021 (the most recent data available), about 17,700 people were granted asylum. Just a fraction of the world's 32.5 million refugees as of mid-2022 are ever resettled; the vast majority remain in countries of first asylum.
Between FY 2012 and 2021, nearly 280,100 people were granted asylum. Chinese were by far the largest group, accounting for 23 percent of all asylum grants during the decade.
Refugees must apply for a green card one year after being admitted to the United States. Asylees become eligible to adjust to LPR status after one year of residence but are not required to do so. As green-card holders, refugees and asylees are eligible to receive federal student financial aid, join certain branches of the U.S. armed forces, and return from international travel without a U.S. entry visa. They generally may also apply for U.S. citizenship five years after being admitted.More details:
