The president's "Report to Congress on Proposed Refugee Admissions for FY 2020", released last month, provides us with useful information on the United States' humanitarian approach to displaced populations.

cis.org/Rush/Lots-Usef…
In FY 2020, the United States is expected to receive:

- 368k refugees and asylum claims
- 350k new asylum claimants
- 18k resettled refugees under the new refugee admissions ceiling

cis.org/Rush/Lots-Usef…
The estimated cost for refugee resettlement totaled $976 million in FY 2019 and should amount to $892 million in FY 2020.

Each of the 18,000 refugees to be resettled in FY 2020 is expected to cost American taxpayers $49,555.

cis.org/Rush/Lots-Usef…
Starting the end of this month, states and localities can opt out of the refugee resettlement program altogether.

This is bound to change the current mapping of states receiving resettled refugees.

cis.org/Rush/Lots-Usef…
Instead of pushing for more resettlement, the United States is prioritizing proximity help that gives millions of refugees much-needed assistance as they wait in neighboring countries for a chance to go home and rebuild their post-war countries.

cis.org/Rush/Lots-Usef…
FY 2017 top states (with more than 3% of total arrivals) where refugees were initially resettled:
FY 2018 top states (with more than 3% of total arrivals) where refugees were initially resettled:

A granular view of exactly how and why the president's efforts to stymie a mass migration — a combination of foreign diplomatic initiatives and innovative deterrence policies — blunted the wave of illegal immigrants.

cis.org/Bensman/SixMon…
Because of intense security at all borders, Central Americans no longer go on their own

To get around the Mexican troops, they now must hire human smugglers who have been forced to significantly hike their fees.

cis.org/Bensman/SixMon…
The massive U.S. return of 55,000 Central American asylum seekers back to Mexico under the "Remain in Mexico" asylum policy has messaged "long odds" to those still downstream of making it across to live illegally.

We've updated our overview of #S386. We'll see it in the new year...

cis.org/Vaughan/Senate…
The amended #S386 bill goes well beyond dealing with the per country cap issue. It also creates a new form of legal status called "early filing."

cis.org/Vaughan/Senate…
Under #S386, those on a long-term temporary visa who can secure a job offer requiring a college degree will, after a wait of 270 days, be able to obtain a three-year renewable work permit and permission to travel in and out of the country.

Process
1. Speaker announces start of formal impeachment proceedings
2. House of Reps has to pass this with a clear majority.
3. It then goes to the Senate. The CJ presides.

@StrategyBin
06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
