Trump has admitted 13,224 refugees since January
20th, 5,135 since supposed moratorium began,
by Ann Corcoran on May 5, 2017
And, Syrians, Iraqis and Somalis
arrive by the thousands. I know I am sounding like a broken
record! But they (Syrians) aren’t going back at all! Trump is admitting more
Syrians every day!
We have not forgotten that Donald Trump announced earlier this year
that on March 16th a 120-day moratorium on all refugee resettlement would
commence for the purpose of assessing how well we are screening refugees. (That was ALL, across the board and not just the so-called
banned countries).
Then the courts intervened to stop a
completely unnecessary Executive Order on the matter and the Administration
tucked its tail, and continues admitting refugees as if nothing was ever said
(before or after the Presidential campaign).
Here are the numbers this morning: Since FY2017 began
on October 1, 2016, we have admitted 43,241 refugees, and are on
target to have a slightly below average admissions year, as I
reported here. However, we have admitted more refugees at this
point in the fiscal year than any year in the previous ten.
Since Inauguration Day on January 20th, Donald Trump has admitted
13,224 refugees. Including: Afghanistan (340) Iraq
(1,599) Somalia (1,394) Sudan (303) Syria (1,534)
And, since the day the moratorium was supposed to
begin to assess security screening (March 16th), Trump welcomed 5,135.
