The Obama administration will admit 25,000 additional refugees into the U.S. next fiscal year (which begins October 1), bringing the annual total to 110,000 -- an increase of 30 percent from the original plan -- The Daily Beast website reports today (September 14, 2016).
Secretary of State John Kerry revealed the plan for an increase in refugees to Congress in a private briefing recently.
The issue of the U.S. taking in refugees has been a hotly contested one in the presidential campaign.
Republican nominee Donald Trump -- as well as millions of Americans -- are against any plan to admit more refugees into the country, citing the likelihood of increasing terror attacks. The fact that France and other countries have experienced deadly terror attacks by terrorists who pretended to be refugees must not be ignored.
