The handiest place to keep track of how many refugees are coming to the US in this fiscal year and where they are coming from is the Cultural Orientation Resource Center.
The Obama Administration is shooting for the highest number of refugees since before 9/11 this fiscal year (2010) which began on Oct. 1, 2009 and ends on September 30, 2010. Get ready for a big push because they have just reached 47,977 and so they have a long way to go. As a matter of fact, if it goes as it has in the past, new refugees will be pouring into your cities just as school starts swamping health departments and schools at the last minute as refugee lobbyists insist on reaching the ceiling set by Obama’s State Department.
Here are the top 6 sending countries as of May 31st:
Iraq: 11,977
Burma: 10,513
Bhutan: 8,675
Cuba: 3,351
Iran: 2,745
Somalia: 2,657
