The number of refugees resettled to the United States is statutorily limited by an annual ceiling that the President determines each fiscal year(FY). Since 1980, around 50,000 refugees resettled each fiscal year. This year (FY 2019) the number dropped from 45,000 to 30,000, the lowest it has been in history after the brief period after 9/11. In September of 2019, the Trump administration announced its intention to further reduce the refugee quota to 18,000 for the incoming fiscal year (FY 2020).

The refugee resettlement gap refers to the number of refugees judged eligible for third country resettlement compared to the number of refugees who have been resettled in that year. The difference between these two figures occurs due to fluctuations in refugee needs and due to UN member state policies towards resettlement within their borders. In 2017, the UNHCR judged the number of refugees in need of resettlement to be 1.19 million. That same year, 75,200 refugees were submitted for resettlement, across all UN member states. In 2018, at the 24th Annual Tripartite Consultations on Resettlement, the UNHCR has stated its intention to expand resettlement pathways and strengthen state partnerships.

Resettlement departures[edit]
In terms of resettlement departures, in 2008, 65,548 refugees were resettled in 26 countries, up from 49,868 in 2007. The largest number of UNHCR-assisted departures were from Thailand (16,807), Nepal (8,165), Syria (7,153), Jordan (6,704) and Malaysia (5,865). Note that these are the countries that refugees were resettled from, not their countries of origin. ''I kinda want to just edit this out??? It's getting more and more out of date with each passing year, and it should either be updated or deleted. For that matter, all the stats tables on this pages seem extraneous. It would be better to just write out the process. Doesn't tie it down to a specific date/period.''

- ''Hi Katie! The info and edits you are presenting seem relevant and very reasonable! I agree that the table seems out of date with a lot of holes in the data. Are you going to try to replace it with a different table or maybe condense/summarize the information in words? Overall, great start! Would definitely like to see you expand more and add in your expertise over the issue and expanding on the growing problem that Trump is bringing on. - Anjelli''
