Biden also announced on Thursday that he would increase the nation’s annual refugee admissions cap to 125,000 in the 12-month period starting Oct. 1.

“The United States’ moral leadership on refugee issues was a point of bipartisan consensus for so many decades,” Biden said. “Our example pushed other nations to open wider doors as well. So today, I’m approving an executive order to begin the hard work of restoring our refugee admissions program to help meet the unprecedented global need,” Biden said.

“It’s going to take time to rebuild what has been so badly damaged,” he added.
