Trump has admitted 12,218 refugees since
Inauguration Day: 1,472 Syrians, 1,359 Somalis, by Ann Corcoran 4/27/17
Since we are coming up on 100 days I
was anxious to see how Trump was doing with his campaign promise to (at least)
put a moratorium on the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days to review
how refugees are vetted and look to assure “extreme vetting” was put in place.
My guess about the flip-flop: His
friends in the hotel and food production industries told him they needed this
steady supply of low wage refugee laborers whose wages you supplement with
welfare payments. Great business model!
Ho hum! Isn’t happening! And, I
don’t want to hear of one defender who says he was stymied by judges. He never
had to place a refugee slowdown in an Executive Order! The Refugee Act of
1980 gives the President enormous powers. Here (below) is a screenshot map of
where the 12,218 were placed since Inauguration Day up until this morning’s
data at Wrapsnet.
This puts the number for the fiscal
year, as of today, at 42,235. Trump also said he was capping the number for the
year at 50,000, but at the present rate of admission, he will surpass 60,000
(an average number since 9/11).
Top resettlement countries included:
Burma (1,497) 401 of these are
Rohingya Muslims who, like
Syrians, cannot be vetted.
DR Congo (1,866) We are well on our
way to reach 50,000 we promised the UN we would scatter across America.
Iraq (1,503) Over 122,000 have been
admitted since 2009.
Somalia (1,359) We have admitted
well over 100,000 over past 20 years, will it ever end?
Syria (1,472) Remember Trump said he
would stop them completely, even said he would send some back, ha! ha!
How many Trump refugees
did you get?
