Although lengthy and slanted (all is just peachy), the Brookings Institution published last fall a 31-page report about the Refugee Resettlement program, how it works, who pays for what, and how much.  Most interesting though is that it is chock full of tables with cities and how many refugees settled in each and from where they came since 1983.

The report is entitled:    From ‘There’ to ‘Here’: Refugee Resettlement in Metropolitan America

    Here are some numbers we have been waiting for!     From fiscal year 1988 through fiscal year 2003 (15 years) the US State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration has admitted 208,702 Muslims from 77 differant countries into the US, that averages 15% of the refugee population over those years.

      Some years were biggies though.   In 1999 for instance we permitted 37,479 Muslim refugees to enter the US,  which represented 44% of that year’s total refugee numbers.

      The top Muslim countries of origin over that time span are Bosnia and Herzegovina (103,107 refugees),  Somalia, (41,626), and coming in at number three, Iraq (21,760).  

      BTW, these numbers are just for refugees,  not for immigration generally.  Imagine what the numbers must be.
