Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : While several government figures and agencies, like the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, have called for the annual ceiling to be set to 95,000 refugees, the president ultimately has the exclusive power to decide.
35% : The decision was reportedly Biden's alone, to the chagrin of many top aides, and was likely fueled by concerns about the U.S.-Mexico border crisis -- though the department that processes asylum seekers at the southern border is entirely separate from that which vets and admits refugees.
