DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute’s Migration Group presents John Slocum\,
  executive director of Refugee Council USA.Globally\, the number of\nforci
 bly displaced persons overwhelms available pathways to protection. While\n
 the United States is the historic leader in refugee resettlement\, refugee
 \nadmissions fell sharply during the Trump administration. President Biden
  has done\nmuch to restore refugee resettlement\, but emergency admissions
  of Afghans and\nUkrainians absorbed much of the resettlement system’s cap
 acity. The Biden\nAdministration recently announced plans to sharply incre
 ase refugee\nadmissions from Latin America\, but it continues to impose re
 strictions on\nasylum-seekers trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. And 
 the GOP-controlled\nHouse of Representatives is intent on further restrict
 ing access to asylum\,\nwhich is a key component of refugee protection. Th
 ese developments are being\naddressed by a number of promising program and
  policy innovations\; but the\nshort-term political clock is ticking\, and
  the world faces the longer-term\nchallenge of climate-forced displacement
 .
