On Immigration: Committed to increasing number of refugees that we take

As European countries cope with a wave of people fleeing conflict in the Middle East and Africa, Secretary of State John Kerry said the State Department will lift the overall number refugees it aims to resettle in the upcoming year. The department currently resettles 70,000 people from around the globe. "We are committed to increasing the number of refugees that we take, and we are looking hard at the number that we can specifically manage with respect to the crisis in Syria and Europe."
