The US refugee total
from 2008 through 2017 was 613,040 who were hand-picked by the UN and sent to
the US to be “settled” by church-sponsored refugee resettlement agencies. The
total cost to the US taxpayers can be estimated at $37 billion.
Sick of the media screwing with the facts! Obama’s
110,000 refugee myth! By Ann Corcoran, 8/9/18.
Never once in his previous 7 years did he propose a ceiling (a cap!) that high and he came no where near that number of refugees admitted. So how about the media shut up about the 110,000 Obama year.
Everywhere I look, the lazy Leftwing media tell us that Trump
refugee admission numbers are low (yes! they are), and they draw a comparison
to Obama’s last refugee cap (110,000) that he proposed in September of 2016
just months before leaving office.
Was it all for show and for dumb reporters who would henceforth
compare refugee admission numbers to the mythical 110,000? Or perhaps he was
laying the groundwork for a big refugee push if Hillary had won the White
House?
Here are the facts about the ceiling proposed in a couple of
Bush years and then the Obama years from the Refugee Processing Center (Wrapsnet), the
official State Department data collection site.
Notice that the ‘ceiling’ Obama set in September of 2016
(110,000) is left blank. Trump came in to office in January 2017 and
lowered it to 50,000. It is not clear to me why the space is left blank,
but it is.
Then look at the column “to the US.” That is the actual number
ultimately admitted. See that Obama came nowhere close to his own much lower
ceilings in FY11 and FY12. And, his other ceilings were way below
110,000.
From
2008 through 2017, refugee admissions to the US totaled 613,040. The ceiling
for each year from 2008 through 2017 never exceeded 80,000 per year and totaled
691,000.
