Renewing the United States’ Global Commitment to Refugee Resettlement

The world is currently in the midst of the greatest refugee challenge in modern history. According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR, more than 65 million people were displaced across the globe as of the end of 2015—up from 59.5 million people a year earlier. Of those, more than 21 million are refugees, outside their home countries and in need of protection.
