Slowed refugee sponsorship delays resettlement plan
Prospective sponsors for Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees have fallen sharply, delaying overall relocation for a year or more. Security checks ordered by Congress are the main bottleneck, keeping thousands on Guam through the summer and possibly prompting more American refugee camps. At present 22,342 refugees have been resettled, with 107,941 remaining across Fort Chaffee, Camp Pendleton, Eglin, Indiantown Gap, and bases in the Pacific, most on Guam under tents.
