вЂњOur immigration system does this over and over again,вЂќ said Cathryn Miller-Wilson, executive director of HIAS Pennsylvania, one of PhiladelphiaвЂ™s major immigrant-assistance organizations. And five years after receiving those green cards, they can apply to become U.S. On the other hand, refugees are required to seek lawful permanent residency after a year in the United States.

Many Afghans are having to apply for asylum, an expensive and uncertain undertaking, and Ukrainians are unsure what will happen once their visas or other temporary protections expire. But without refugee status, those newcomers have no clear path to staying permanently in this country. Congress has passed laws, and the administration implemented policies, to provide some benefits. That means they have no automatic right to the housing, medical, job, and social programs that go to legal refugees. While the Afghans and Ukrainians may be refugees by definition - people who fled their country to escape persecution - almost none are refugees by immigration status.ДЄlmost all the Afghans and many Ukrainians arrived and are arriving under whatвЂ™s called humanitarian parole, which is merely a permission to enter the country, not an immigration classification. And itвЂ™s accepting up to 100,000 Ukrainians under the Biden administrationвЂ™s вЂњUniting for UkraineвЂќ program.Д«ut itвЂ™s not bringing in many refugees, which is a specific and important designation. ItвЂ™s still resettling 76,000 Afghan war allies who were evacuated as the Taliban took over the country in August. ItвЂ™s not that the United States isnвЂ™t welcoming people in trouble. And 172 refugees have gone to New Jersey, where Guatemala, with 53 people, is the largest homeland. This year 562 refugees have arrived in Pennsylvania, with 110 from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their top home countries are Syria, 3,007 Democratic Republic of Congo, 2,927 and Sudan, 1,233.

So far this fiscal year, 12,641 refugees have been admitted to the United States. An additional 50.9 million people have been internally displaced, meaning they were forced to leave their home but not their country. The United Nations counts 26.6 million refugees worldwide, a new record. If the pipeline is too slow weвЂ™re just not going to see those numbers.вЂќ вЂњThe program is just not at a place where it can respond in an agile and effective way. вЂњOne of the key problems is the process just takes too long, anywhere from two to 10 years,вЂќ said Danilo Zak, policy and advocacy manager for the National Immigration Forum in Washington. And that holds crucial implications not just for refugees but also for the future of the United States and its economy. Instead, battered by former President Donald TrumpвЂ™s anti-immigration agenda and by COVID-19, the system struggles to admit even small numbers. government rushes to invent new, crisis-driven welcome programs like вЂњUniting for Ukraine,вЂќ rather than rebuild the existing refugee program to make it faster and more effective - and the best, primary means to bring some of the worldвЂ™s most vulnerable people to safety. Today, as the national numbers stagnate, immigration experts question why the U.S. Philadelphia city officials will recognize World Refugee Day by issuing a proclamation during the annual gathering of the Refugee Resettlement ProviderвЂ™s Collaborative, to be held June 26. вЂњI know what America means to the rest of the world, the freedom and the safety.вЂќ not stepping up to take on more capacity, itвЂ™s personally making me feel sad, as an American,вЂќ said Mustafa Nuur, 29, who came to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, as a refugee eight years ago, after terrorists killed his father in Somalia. This at a moment when the global number of people driven from their homes by violence or persecution has surpassed 100 million for the first time on record, propelled by the war in Ukraine and other conflicts, according to the United Nations. is on track to resettle only 18,962 refugees in fiscal 2022 - a fraction of the 125,000 ceiling set by President Joe Biden. The latest admissions figures are paltry, with 1,898 people admitted in May. I legit enjoy it.PHILADELPHIA - Monday is World Refugee Day, the annual honoring of those forced to flee dangerous homelands and try to rebuild their lives in new countries.Д«ut in the United States this year, there are fewer refugees to celebrate.
