Question 1368 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the statement by the Department of State on the US Refugee Admissions Program.President Biden has confirmed America's pledge to support refugees by keeping the refugee admission limit for the fiscal year 2024 at 125,000, a figure that has remained unchanged since fiscal year 2022 and is the highest in many years. This action demonstrates America's ongoing role as a leader in resettling refugees, especially at a time when the world is experiencing a severe crisis with an unprecedented number of individuals being displaced due to conflicts, persecution, and instability.What would most likely result if the government changed the admissions ceiling to 80,000 refugees in the years that followed?
Answer
A
It would match the number of refugees currently entering the nation.
B
It would stall the process for refugees waiting to resettle in the country.
C
It would provide some relief for refugees who are in the middle of the process.
D
It would force refugees who have already resettled in the United States to leave.
Explanation
The admissions ceiling sets the maximum number of refugees who may be admitted in a fiscal year. Lowering it from 125,000 to 80,000 would allow fewer refugees to resettle each year, so people waiting to complete the process would likely face longer delays. It would not make already-resettled refugees leave the United States.
