More Iraqi Refugees Enter U.S.

The U.S. accepted 1,141 Iraqi refugees in May which is the most the U.S. has taken in one month. 4,742 Iraqi refugees have entered the U.S. since the fiscal year began in October. May's number was more than half of the total for all of 2007: 1,608. But the U.S. needs to accept about 7,200 more Iraqi refugees over the next four months to meet the State Department's goal of 12,000 that I've noted before.
