The State Department has proposed admitting between 35,000 to 50,000 refugees from Latin America/the Caribbean in fiscal year 2024, according to a draft report obtained by CNN. That's up from 15,000 in fiscal year 2023.
The number of migrants was a monthly high for the calendar year and marked the highest August on record. The 2024 refugee cap requires consultation with Congress before Saturday, the end of the fiscal year.As of Aug. 31, the U.S. admitted 51,231 refugees in fiscal year 2023, according to the latest federal data. While short of the 125,000 ceiling, admissions since last October are more than double all of fiscal year 2022, CNN reported.
