Refugee Population: Refugees

refugee population: Trump also reduced the number of refugees the U.S. will take next year from at least 110,000 down to no more than 50,000, and suspended any refugees from Syria indefinitely, according to Metro News. Donald Smith, chair of the refugee working group for the Ottawa Anglican Diocese, said that has huge implications. President Donald Trump's executive order that banned citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries from travelling to the United States also suspended the U.S. refugee resettlement process for 120 days. The Syrians are the single largest refugee population in the world, he said. Canada has a target to admit 25,000 refugees in 2017. When you say that we're going to exclude the largest single national group, that says something very significant. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
