During the last year of the Obama administration, the U.S. allowed nearly 85,000 refugees to enter the country. President Trump campaigned on a strictimmigration crackdown and a desire to limit mass refugee immigration. TheTrump administration is planning on reducing overall annual refugeeadmissions to, at most, 45,000 annually. The cap has not been this low since 2006.
President Trump has also signed a new executive order to limit immigration from eight nations “until we are sure that we can conduct proper screeningand vetting of those countries’ nationals.” Venezuela and North Korea were added to six countries listed on previous bans—Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia,Syria, and Yemen. This new limit is better clarified but is sure to be tested in the courts.
President Trump used his September 19th speech to the UN to explain a rationale and well-thought out plan on how to balance compassion with caution in dealing with the refugee situation. He emphasized a “safe, responsible, and humanitarian approach” that positions refugee settlements in a way that facilitates their eventual return to help rebuild the countries they love.
President Trump asserts: “Over the long term, uncontrolled migration is deeply unfair to both the sending and the receiving countries. For the sending countries, it reduces domestic pressure to pursue needed politicaland economic reform, and drains them of the human capital necessary tomotivate and implement those reforms. For the receiving countries, thesubstantial costs of uncontrolled migration are borne overwhelmingly by low-income citizens whose concerns are often ignored by both media and government.”
His plan is cost-effective and culture sensitive: “For the cost of resettling one refugee in the United States, we can assist more than 10 in their home region. Out of the goodness of our hearts, we offer financial assistance to hosting countries in the region, and we support recentagreements of the G20 nations that will seek to host refugees as close totheir home countries as possible.” Is it not better to be working in close to home in Jordan than being unemployed and out of place somewhere in the West?
For those who think such limits are unnecessary, read Douglas Murray’s well-documented book, The Strange Death of Europe. It chronicles the impact of mass immigration on Europe. Rather than easily fitting in, the majority of Muslim refugees in France found their own suburbs to settle in, Seine Saint-Denis near Paris. The same has happening in certain towns in North England, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Malmo. Pubs and churches in these areas were closing.
From Theo van Gogh to Kurt Westergaard and from Oriana Fallaci to Michael Houellebecq, people who lead campaigns against the refugees were subject to physical intimidation or even killed. After numerous terrorist attacks, honor killings and cartoon attacks, it was becoming clear throughout Europe that assimilation was not working. There was no flexibility on equality of the sexes or gay rights. Militant refugees did not share the West’s views on freedom, individual rights, or religious tolerance.
In response to problems with mass immigration, porous borders began to close. The UK voted to leave the EU. Fences went up between Hungary and Serbia, between Bulgaria and Turkey, and between Macedonia and Greece. Refugees were becoming increasingly unwelcome.
After continual attempts to justify her decision to accept thousands of refugees, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, finally admitted the failure of refugees to assimilate into German society. Her Potsdam “state of the nation” speech in October of 2010 conceded that the integration and multiculturalism she had espoused had “failed, utterly failed.” She conceded that we had “kidded ourselves for a while. We said, ‘they won’t stay, some time they will be gone,’ but this isn’t reality.” At that point, only 48,000 people had received asylum. Her words did not result in a change in policy. After five years of increasing numbers, Chancellor Merkel allowed 1.5 million refugees into Germany in 2015.
May Americans never face the sentiments expressed by a German Syrian migrant named Aras Bacho. He complained that migrants were “fed up” with the “angry” German people who “insult and agitate” and are “unemployed racists.” He continued, “We refugees…do not want to live in the same country as you. You can, and I think you should, leave Germany. Germany does not fit you. Why do you live here?... Look for a new home.”
Refugees to America will continue to be accepted at a slower pace. Muslim immigrants who are fully vetted from responsible nations will still be welcomed. But, thankfully, under the Trump administration, there will be no mass refugee immigration like Europe has experienced.
45K per year is still way too many. And we shouldn’t be paying countries to keep their people there.
But it’s women and children... like the TN church murderer. 45 Thousand? Why? And why isn’t anyone holding Trump accountable for this? O wait, I guess congress made him do it.
There is a difference between fault and responsibility. He might get away with its congress’ fault, but it’s always the leaders responsibility. 45K per year. Wow.
No. I'd imagine from a "refugee's" perspective it's much better to have a ticket to the "land of milk and honey" where they can free load off the system and breed like rats.
And they wonder why we keep so many rounds on hand. d;^)
Close the damn border.
Shutdown all immigration...illegal and legal...until we get our house in order and ensure that a majority of people in this country defends the basic rights in the USC.
If we don’t, we are allowing our enemies to destroy us.
And we really need to take the fight back to the leftists who play smiley-face, let’s all get along and have a good time when one of their tyrants is destroying us but who then bring out the daggers of hatred whenever they are not in power.
They’ve been playing this trick since Reagan. It gets worse and worse every time we win.
They need to start fearing us.
Meanwhile, we let islam hide behind the 1st Amendment, as if mosques were just churches of another faith and not foreign outposts dedicated to conquest.
Looking at the refugee photo accompanying the article, I first thought that might be Moooooooochelle Odumbo but alas, I was mistaken.
“...until we are sure that we can conduct proper screening and vetting of those countries’ nationals.”
- meaning that refugees and visa holders entering before this time have not been vetted?????
I think there was an agreement with Australia, one of our allies, made by the O administration, to take 40K, and it was ironclad. Look it up.
Obama imported an average of 75,000 refugees per year for eight years.
George W. Bush actually imported about 80,000 per year during his second term.
Trump will import about 55,000 “refugees” in 2017.
And the claim that Muslim immigrants - or any other immigrant - from a Third World country can be “fully vetted” for anything is a sick joke.
Perhaps you should have looked that up first?
The number from Australia is 1,250.
Almost all of them are young Muslim males, and it's in exchange for about 150 Hispanic refugees living in a USA funded camp in Central America.
As to “Ironclad.”
That's not serious.
Trump claims he must “honor” an agreement signed by his predecessor Obama.
Trump had no problem revoking Obama’s Paris Climate Agreement - although Trump will eventually cave on that, too.
And does anyone think future Democrat presidents will honor agreements signed by Trump - of course not.
Bacho complained that migrants like him were “fed up” with the “angry” German people who “insult and agitate” and that Germans are “unemployed racists.”
Bacho's hatred, arrogance, and sense of entitlement knows no bounds.
He said about Germans subsidizing the Syrian occupation of their country: “We refugees…....do not want to live in the same country as you Germans. You can, and I think you Germans should, leave Germany. Germany does not fit you. Why do you live here?... Look for a new home.”

-It has been estimated that there were somewhat more than 100 mosques in the U.S. in 1970, but immigration of more than a million Muslims since then led to hundreds more being built.[1]
In 1994 the Islamic Center of Yuba City, in California, was destroyed by fire set in a hate-crime, and is one of two mosques destroyed by a hate-crime in U.S. history, (the second being in Joplin, Missouri in 2012) . It had just been completed at cost of $1.8 million plus sweat equity of the Muslims of its rural community, including descendants of Pakistani who immigrated to the area c. 1902. Its story, including its rebuilding, is told in David Washburn's 2012 documentary film An American Mosque.[4]
In 2002 a book on "the American Mosque" appeared.[5]
The overall number of mosques in the United States quietly rose from 1,209 in 2000 to 2,106 in 2010, an increase of 74%.[6]
The 9/11-triumphant "Ground Zero mosque", a planned mosque in lower Manhattan, was the subject of controversy from 2010 on. In September 2011, a temporary 4,000-square-foot (370 m2) Islamic center opened in renovated space at the site,[7] and current plans are for a museum to be built, instead of a mosque.
A 2011 study, The American Mosque 2011, sponsored by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research (Hartford Seminary), the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, as well as the nation's largest Islamic civic and religious groups, including the Islamic Society of North America and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, found that the U.S. States with the most mosques were New York (257), California (246) and Texas (166).[6]
Through 2014, a building boom for mosques has been going on.[8]

I have a Modest Proposal on another front. It's way past time to tell Afghanistan that those crooks are on their own. We have serious rebuilding to do in Puerto Rico. Pull ALL troops and rebuilding resources out of Afghanistan and send them to PR to rebuild. And from now on, use a colonial system to administer PR. They got where they are because of massive corruption.
Follow the money.... We the people, fund to the tune of billions each year, so called ‘religious’ charities. Cut that money and these fake religious charities would cease in their human trafficking. Lying Paul Ryan where are you?
You're putting me on, right? He actually SAID that?
We needn’t stand for this. No political party is capable of reversing the muzzie tide.
Reportedly......those are his thoughts and words.
ZERO per year works for me!
In fact, let’s sendem all back to the shithole countries they came FRom!
I bet we’s have no problem with a “GoFundMe” thread to provide FRee transportation to said shithole countries!
