Total refugee arrivals per year since 1975

```the Obama administration increased the number of refugees the United States accepts annually, from 85,000 in fiscal year (FY) 2016 to 110,000 in FY 2017. Since assuming office in January 2017, President Donald Trump has issued executive orders to cut the refugee admission ceiling for FY 2017 from 110,000 to 50,000```

So the limit is 50k

And we've only hit 15k since June

Also Daily wire

So people will discount it instantly

Yup.

If articles provide source links, it's better to use those

Ooo, interesting.

finally, a graph of the ceiling

when .png works against you..

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...or when light theme works *for* you

blue is ceiling

purple is admitted refugees

What the fuck is this "intellectualist" website

First the whole "zomg he said what the nazis said" thing

And now I'm finding gems like this

```Dear Intellectualist, Please don't use the term America for the United States of America. There are 20 other countries who are American.... Mexico and those in Central and South. (and technically speaking Mexico refers to itself as a United Mexican States) Thanks, a mortified and disgusted citizen of the United States of North America "^)```

What was the United States of America called before it became USA?

Britain <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Britain didn't have a name for the collection of the American colonies?

Doesn't seem to be a regional name that distinguishes the 13 colonies from Canada

Closest I've seen is "British North America"

Thirteen colonies I think? @DanielKO

The USA didn't have a name before USA because the land that the USA currently occupies was owned separately by russia, Britain, France, Spain and mexico

Okay. Has any of the other countries that n the Americas ever used "America" in their name?

Not what I can think of no

Basically, we got "First" dibs

If they don’t like it, we can always change that fact
