Promises, promises: As we approach 100 days, Trump
has dropped ball on refugee program reform,
by Ann Corcoran 4/25/17
Here is a detailed story at Breitbart yesterday in which reporter Michael Patrick Leahy reminds us
of what Donald Trump promised, especially in Minnesota, days before his victory
in the 2016 Presidential contest.
With about a week to go
until his administration reaches the 100-day mark, President Trump’s campaign
promises to halt Syrian refugee resettlement and tighten up the refugee vetting
process remain largely unfulfilled.
Trump has reduced the overall number
of refugees resettled, something that he implied but did not specifically
promise on the campaign trail, but the level of reduction falls far short of
the virtual halt many of his supporters had hoped to see.
President Trump’s most explicit statements about the refugee
resettlement program during the campaign came at a November 6 rally in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, two days before the election.
“A Trump administration will not
admit any refugees without the support of the local community where they are
being placed,” he told a “crowd of more than 5,000 who greeted him at the Sun
Country Airlines hangar of the Minneapolis
St. Paul International Airport”
(emphasis added):
“Hillary
wants a 550 percent increase in Syrian refugees pouring into our country. And
she wants virtually unlimited immigration and refugee admissions, from the most
dangerous regions of the world, to come into our country and to come into
Minnesota, and you know it better than anybody,” Trump said.
“Her plan
will import generations of terrorism, extremism, and radicalism into your
schools and throughout your communities,” he continued.
“When I’m elected president, we will suspend the Syrian refugee program
and we will keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country,” Trump announced.
“Here in Minnesota you’ve seen first
hand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with large numbers of
Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support
or approval, and with some of them then joining ISIS and spreading their
extremist views all over our country, and all over the world,” Trump told the
crowd.
“Everybody’s reading about the
disaster taking place in Minnesota, everybody’s reading about it. You don’t
even have the right to talk about it, you don’t even know who’s coming in, you
have no idea. You’ll find out. You’ll find out,” he promised.
“And we will pause admissions from
terror-prone regions until a full security assessment has been performed, and
until a proven vetting mechanism has been established,” Trump added.
Continue reading here as Leahy lays out in great detail where Trump has
dropped the ball.
We have extensive reporting in our ‘Trump Watch’ category
on the many fumbles (if they are fumbles!) and the numbers the Trump Dept. of
State is admitting with no sign of any “extreme vetting” having been put in
place.
As of last Friday we have admitted
41,553 refugees in FY17, and, at the 900 a week rate, we could reach 60,000 (an
average number since 9/11).
If I had to guess what caused the Trump big talk to fizzle, I bet it
was the Chamber of Commerce Republicans who have convinced him that US
companies need the cheap LEGAL refugee laborers now that the flow of illegals
is slowing.
BIG MEAT needs workers willing to
work for low wages, see here. (So does BIG POULTRY, and the dairy industry, and
Marriott hotels, and airport support services, etc. etc.). What a business
model—pay low wages and the refugee family is subsidized through
taxpayer-funded welfare programs! Never forget! Refugee resettlement is not
first and foremost about humanitarianism!

From 2009
to 2016, most jobs that were created in the US went to minimum wage refugees,
illegal aliens, immigrant temps and bogus immigration categories. The US created 150,000 jobs a month and
immigrated 150,000 immigrants per month.
The US also graduated 150,000 new US workers per month, but they didn’t
get the jobs.
We have
94 million working-age US citizens without jobs while household incomes
plummeted. Immigrants are bribed to come to the US with welfare and education
benefits that cost US taxpayers $384 billion a year. We need to stop spending $384 billion a year
on immigrant subsidies and apply it to the corporate tax cut.
If we
stop and reverse the Muslim invasion of the US by eliminating their eligibility
for welfare and education benefits, we will begin to see Muslims returning to
their home countries. Muslims have 22 terror training camps in the US. Too many terror attacks have been committed
by Muslims on welfare.
US
citizens have lost their freedom to be self-supporting, due to suicidal
immigration policies that need to be stopped.
It makes no sense to allow the UN to dictate our immigration policies.
We suspended immigration completely in the 1930s and need to restrict
immigration to the best design engineers and scientists we can find.
