A large portion of the refugees admitted into the United States from countries like Afghanistan and Venezuela during the Biden administration arrived as families. According to DHS data, about 63% of those admitted as refugees were classified as derivative refugees, meaning they are the spouse or child of the primary person applying.     

DHS data shows that minors made up about 43% to 45% of refugees admitted to the United States from 2022 to 2024.

There was a near-even split of women and men admitted as refugees during these years.
