Biden strengthened the refugee resettlement system. Will Trump undo it?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The 2024 tally is a reason to celebrate and a reminder that refugee resettlement is highly subject to presidential whims.
57% : The Biden administration rolled out Safe Mobility Offices across Latin America, which aim to provide locals with information about migration pathways, including refugee admissions.
56% : The year-by-year level has varied dramatically due to the president's powerful role in shaping refugee admissions.
45% : According to the United Nations, there were 43.4 million refugees around the world in 2024 -- a number that has tripled over the past 10 years.
30% : Donald Trump set a lower and lower ceiling every year of his first term, and while Joe Biden promised to change course during his presidency, that proved difficult.
28% : It's not yet clear which changes Trump will impose or how deeply they will affect people seeking protection, but it would be a mistake for America to abandon its opportunity to welcome refugees and benefit from their presence.
25% : Improvements to the resettlement system are easy for a future administration to undo, and with Trump returning to the White House, refugee admissions are likely to fall.
