These Countries are Sending the Most Refugees to Texas

The topic of refugees arriving in Texas has been a very hot topic for many years. There are very strong opinions on both sides and let me start by saying that this information is not attempting to sway your opinion one way or the other. That is one of the great things about Texas, there are lots of different opinions, yet we find a common ground to show respect toward other Texans. But the facts remain that the U.S. is one of the leading countries when it comes to people fleeing their home country for whatever reason.

The past two United States Presidents have had completely opposite agendas when it comes to housing refugees, but we do know that over 60,000 refugees arrived in the United States from October 2022 to September of 2023. It’s interesting to see that the top 3 countries with refugees coming to the United States, are also the top 3 countries with refugees coming to Texas. 

Texas Refugees Numbers Higher Than Anywhere Else 

When you look at which states accepted the most refugees in April of this year, you will see Texas at the top of that list with a total of 620 refugees. Next would be California with 414 refugees and rounding out the three would be New York with 360 new refugees.
