Ten Democrat Senators push Trump Administration for
higher refugee numbers in coming year, by Ann Corcoran 8/24/18.
This
is of course no surprise…But, if these Senators are yours, know this: They don’t care about you and your community,
about your safety and your wallets. To them this is all about playing games on
the international stage. It is all about using refugees to wheel and deal with
foreign governments!
Dems
demand Trump keep door open for refugees as hard-liners push for even fewer
From NBC News: The
Democrat Senators pushing for more refugees are:
Robert Menndez, NJ, Ben Cardin MD,
Jeanne Shaheen NH, Chris Coons DE, Tom Udall NM, Chris Murphy CT, Tim Kaine VA,
Ed Markey MA, Jeff Merkley OR, Cory Booker NJ.
What is so maddening to me is that none
of these Senators will ever have to live next door to any third world refugees!
But, you, the deplorables will!
WASHINGTON
— Democratic senators are urging President Donald Trump to keep the door open
to refugees as his administration, which has already pushed the number admitted
to an historic low, weighs imposing unprecedented restrictions on the number of
refugees allowed in the U.S.
In a letter obtained by NBC News, the 10
Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee warned Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo about possible damage to America’s diplomatic clout and strategic
interests around the world from any further reduction in refugee admissions.
MORATORIUM! My recommendation for the admissions number for FY19 is ZERO! If you missed it, go here and see why I say that.
The
Trump administration last year set the lowest ceiling ever for refugees allowed
to resettle in the U.S., limiting the number to 45,000 — and then admitted even
fewer. After decades of bipartisan support for much higher numbers, said the
senators, “We are concerned about the foreign policy and national security impact
of any further downward retreat on admission numbers.”
By
the way, the support has been “bipartisan” because many Republicans want the
cheap labor for their friends including the Chamber of Commerce and the Dems
want the “New American” voters!
The
letter coincides with an internal debate inside the Trump administration about
the cap for refugee admissions for the next fiscal year, with civil servants at
the State Department and military officers at the Pentagon pitted against
political appointees who favor drastically curtailing the number of refugees
permitted into the country. More here.
And,
later I want to tell you more about how the Pentagon is pushing for more
refugees too so that they can promise Iraqis a ticket to America in exchange for
help there. And,
to hell with what those Iraqis could do in your US town!
All
of us who want to see the US Refugee Admissions Program reformed are up against
a juggernaut! It is important that you contact the White House. Tell the President what you think!
