Well, it looks like Stephen Miller — President Trump’s dark angel on immigration — may have achieved one of his wishes. Last month the United States admitted zero refugees for resettlement.
Zero.
According to the advocacy group World Relief, October was the first month since it began keeping records 30 years ago that the government failed to allow a single refugee to resettle here, a stunning reversal of the nation’s longstanding role as the leading resettlement destination for people around the world with, in effect, no home to return to.
The U.S. unseated itself as the top destination for refugees in the first year of the Trump administration; before then, the nation routinely resettled more refugees each year than the rest of the world combined.
