Trump Administration has again taken American leadership a step backward since it announced an historically low refugee cap for FY19. It is mandated that they consult Congress before they announced this. They did not.

My colleagues and I are pushing back.
Last week, the Trump Administration made an announcement that the refugee cap for FY19 would be set at 30,000, a dramatic cut from the previous historic low of 45,000 of FY18. nytimes.com/2018/09/17/us/…
This cannot go unnoticed...

Trump's resettlement rate is currently the lowest in program history. He's also claiming that the Admin cannot address the asylum backlog while maintaining a strong refugee admissions level.

This is simply not the case. time.com/5404850/immigr…
The Trump Administration has cut aid programs across the globe, and is now turning its back on the people who need help the most.

They're making this problem worse and they must stop their systematic effort to dismantle the resettlement program.
