he'd agreed to was always an indefinite one that he was going to take further advice from colleagues and various departments about that particular figure but the major reason in all likelihood is the immense pressure that was brought to bear by members of his own democratic party there was absolute fury at the fact that president biden chose to stick with that 15000 cap but now you've got a cap of 62500 but there's a caveat with that the president says that in all possibility this cap will not be reached by the end of this fiscal year which is october simply because he says there is not enough staff in departments like homeland security this he says is a consequence of the previous administration's pruning of various departments so although the cap has been increased the president saying that it may not be filled but he then adds there will be an even higher cap in the next fiscal year 2122 and
