How the New Biden-Harris ‘Welcome Corps’ for Refugees Works ([link removed])
By Nayla Rush, October 10, 2024
Summary: The Welcome Corps is a private sponsorship program designed by the Biden-Harris administration to create opportunities for private individuals in the U.S. to select their own “refugees” and future American citizens. Sponsored individuals do not need to actually be refugees according to the UNHCR Refugee Status Determination, let alone in that subset of refugees determined by the UN to be in “need of resettlement. In short: You do not need to be a refugee to be sponsored into the United States under the Welcome Corps program, but you can claim persecution and become one to be admitted.
