9月23日CNN聽力：美國宣告上調收留災黎人數
Hey. I'm Carl Azuz, delivering a brand new edition ofCNN STUDENT NEWS.
The U.S. government has changed the number ofrefugees it plans to allow into the country.
President Obama recently said that the U.S. wouldaccept 10,000 additional refugees from Syria nextyear.
The United Nations criticized that as not being enough.
Now, the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry pledges that America will increase its refugee limitby an additional 15,000 next year and 15,000 again the year after,for a total of 100,000worldwide refugees accepted into the U.S. per year.
Many of the additional people would come from Syria.
It's not clear if the Obama administration can legally do this without approval from Congress.
Some lawmakers are saying the U.S. should accept more Syrian refugees.
Critics say that could come with security risks.
What is certain is that the number of people seeking asylum continues to grow and flow intoEurope.
Along what's called the Eastern Route, more than 132,000 migrants have travelled mainly fromSyria and Afghanistan.
Along the so-called Central Route, more than 91,302.
These are mostly people from Eretria, Nigeria and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.
And along the Western Route, almost 6,700 migrants so far, most of them coming from Syria.
Through June of this year, asylum applications, the numbers of people seeking a safe place tosay varied by country.
But they range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and more than 2,700people have died in the Mediterranean Sea trying to cross into Europe over water.
