A new Pew Research Center analysis finds that the number of refugees annually resettled by the U.S. in recent years has not consistently grown in step with a worldwide refugee population that has expanded nearly 50% since 2013.
Pew based its analysis on data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the State Department.
The new analysis comes in the wake of President Trump recently signing an order lowering the number of refugees allowed into the United States next year to 45,000, which is the lowest cap since Congress passed the Refugee Act in 1980.
