Every year since the Refugee Act of 1980, the presidential administration in power has announced its cap number for refugee admissions in the coming fiscal year. On Wednesday, the Trump Administration followed suit, with a notable departure from tradition: Their cap, at 45,000 individuals to be admitted for FY2018, is the lowest such number in the history of this process.45,000 may sound like a lot of people, especially amid reports that some White House officials were looking to go as low as 15,000. Set against America’s legacy of leadership and the historic refugee crisis the world faces today, however, it’s hardly a drop in the bucket.There are many good reasons to welcome refugees to the United States.
