The White House recommitted to increasing the limit President Donald Trump placed on refugee admissions as the Biden administration confronts a surge in migrant crossings at the southern border.
"The president remains committed to raising the cap," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday.
In February, President Joe Biden and his administration promised to increase the country's refugee intake to 62,500 this fiscal year, up from 15,000 under Trump.
