Trump Wants to Limit Refugees to Lowest Level in 30 Years @alternet

Trump Wants to Limit Refugees to Lowest Level in 30 Years @alternet: Some timing: 'We're at the world's most significant refugee crisis' since World War II, says a refugee activist. Donald Trump wants to cap the number of refugees allowed in the United States at 45,000, as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson briefed Congress on Wednesday. That is even fewer than the 50,000 many administration officials expected and less than half of the 110,000 that President Obama recommended for 2017.
