The Sacramento region is bucking President Donald Trump’s moves to cut back the flow of international refugees entering the United States.
The region is experiencing a mini-boom of refugees resettling here, even as the number of refugees admitted into the U.S. overall plummets, according to a Sacramento Bee analysis of data kept by the national Refugee Processing Center.
A total of 466 refugees from around the globe have resettled in the Sacramento metropolitan area so far this year, a 20 percent increase over the same period last year. The number to date is also bigger than in any year under former President Barack Obama.
Nationwide, the number of refugees flowing into the United States is down 21 percent so far this year. The number of those who have resettled in California – 1,938 – is nearly identical to the 2016 figure.
Many refugees fleeing war-torn Syria are resettling in the Sacramento region. So far this year, 58 Syrians have settled in the region, more than double the number who came here in 2016. The number of Syrians granted refuge both in California and nationwide is also on the rise.
A total of 43 Iraqi refugees, 37 Iranians and 25 Afghans have also settled in the Sacramento region this year.

We really need to step this up a little and get it up in to the thousands, hopefully the Capitol will go Sharia with Jihad a regular occurrence. They deserve it.
I’ll be glad to kick in a few bucks to pay for more .. at least, all of those that are in Texas .. illegals and refugees to move to Sacramento.
The really comical reality is that those pompous, deluded hypocritical liberals think they are safe and secure in their suburbs. Amazing what chronic marijuana use does to judgment and perspective.
Refugee used to signify someone fleeing persecution. Now it means fleeing economic disadvantage, but the people come here degrade the economic conditions in their target countries. The Soros Open Society foundation seeks to benefit neither the target countries nor, really, those seeking refuge from economic disadvantage—as soon as they gain stability, Soros will be targeting them. Soros wants to render strong countries weak, make local cultural loyalty seem “racist” for the purpose of rendering vast populations of hundreds of millions more compliant and easily governable.
Suicidal.
I’m tired of California politicians and their games. They are openly defying the feds when it comes to illegal aliens and sanctuary cities, but they put their American caps back on and go crying to DC for federal aid whenever there’s natural disasters out there.
California is turning into a Third World crime-controlled country in my lifetime.
200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

You blame pot? It’s a little more complex than that.
Funny you'd say that...
Interesting! I wonder who really does run the country. And California for that matter.
Just a joke But those people are clearly deluded and have no real future,
All these “refugees” are settling in the same area. I see them everyday.
Fulton ave and Hurley ave. That is ground zero here in Sacramento..........ohhhhh, sorry. Bad choice of words.......
Me too. Tired of California. Just succeed the union and enjoy. We in flyover country can do without the state.
CA has had the money over and over to maintain and repair dams. But they had other things they would rather spend the money on. Please, President Trump, tell them NO and let it be known WHY.
Plus all the water bonds they sold and the millions they got from Obama’s bailout.
Not a clue ... and the fact that it will have to be done here as opposed to overseas is even worse.
Immigrant = fake definition of illegal
Of course, ICE is nowhere to be found.
