"We're looking at the pace of resettlement right now and thinking about how it is going."


Veprek declined to confirm whether the refugee entry quota might be expanded to other nationalities or ethnic groups.


Speaking at a Center for Immigration Studies event, Veprek noted the responsibility for refugee resettlement in the US shifted to the Department of Health and Human Services in January.
