Executive Order 13815: Resuming the United States Refugee Admissions Program With Enhanced Vetting Capabilities
Effective Date
October 24, 2017
Biden Administration Action: Revoked/Replaced
February 4, 2021
Executive Order on Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration
This Biden administration policy revokes in its entirety the Trump-era policy identified in this entry.
On 2/4/21, President Biden issued an Executive Order revoking certain past presidential actions on refugee admissions and resettlement (including Executive Order 13815) and directing government agencies to take steps to improve the refugee program, including to create a plan to address processing backlogs, to hire up to increase refugee adjudication capacity, to complete a review of the Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) programs, and to submit a report on climate change and its impact on migration.
It appears that Biden, through Executive Order, was actually trying to improve the system.

"Four months after White House officials spoke in victorious tones about an unexpected plunge in illegal migration, Biden is once again under growing pressure to address a surge in border crossings that shows no sign of slowing down. And the most notable criticism is coming from his own party.
That could pose a significant political threat as Biden faces a potential rematch against former president Donald Trump, who rode the immigration issue to the White House in 2016 with promises of a border wall, a ban on Muslim travelers and other harsh measures.
With near-record numbers of daily arrivals, shelters overflowing with families and city governments overwhelmed by new residents, one of the most intractable challenges of Biden’s presidency is again threatening to upend his legislative agenda."
So, Biden allows these criminals to walk across our border with no vetting, and then after they give a police officer a beat down, NYC releases the criminals back onto the streets. These are NOT "migrants", these are criminal scum and they should have been instantly arrested, put in jail, then DEPORTED to wherever they came from. If Democrats can't even send that needed message to other criminals, then they do not care about the people they supposedly serve. Biden is responsible for all these criminals and WHEN there is a terrorist attack from a border crosser, that blood will be on his hands.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
