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.
Here (from Wrapsnet)
is where the 1,534 Syrians were placed from January 20th up to this
morning:
