I missed this story about ten days ago, but thanks to reader Joanne for sending it.
It is from Bloomberg, and isn’t a surprise to me. Japan takes virtually no refugees because they see what is happening in Europe and the US, and because they want to maintain their own culture.

Here is the first news I’m seeing of the nine refugee contractors*** beginning their push to pressure the President to increase the ceiling for refugee admissions for Fiscal Year 2019 which begins on October 1, 2018.
Long time readers know that the President sets a CEILING for admission sometime in September and “consults” with Congress, but Congress, although it has the power to dole out money, has in the past just let the President pretty much do what he wants to do.
By demanding a ceiling that they know is unrealistic for this President, they will use the President’s ultimate number (likely low) to bludgeon him in the media yet again.
