NYT: Trump Admin Might Lower Refugee Quota Below 50,000
-------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is considering whether to further reduce the
number of refugees allowed into the United States to fewer than 50,000.
That's according to The New York Times, which reports the plan has the
support of homeland security officials and senior White House adviser
Stephen Miller. President Trump has already capped the number of
refugees resettled annually in the U.S. at 50,000-less than half of the
110,000 refugees admitted under President Barack Obama.
