A coalition of Republican and Democrat Senators sent President Trump a letter last month, begging his administration to bring “as many refugees as possible” to the United States next year. In a letter dated August 5 — before Trump announced he would lower the refugee resettlement cap to a maximum of 18,000 admissions for Fiscal Year 2020 — Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Coons (D-DE) led a group of lawmakers to ask that the president increase the number of refugees resettled in the U.S. every year beyond the current year’s 30,000 admissions ceiling.

Likewise, the lawmakers called reports “alarming” that the Trump administration would halt the refugee resettlement program for Fiscal Year 2020 for national security reasons and said the U.S. has a responsibility, above all else, to be compassionate to the world’s migrants:
While some Members of Congress have already expressed their displeasure with the FY2019 resettlement cap, and the lower-than-normal admittance numbers for FY2017 and FY2018, eliminating refugee admittance altogether is even more alarming. At a time when we are facing the “highest levels of displacement on record,” according to the United Nations Refugee Agency, we urge you to increase the refugee resettlement cap and to admit as many refugees as possible within that cap. America has a responsibility to promote compassion and democracy around the world through assistance to vulnerable and displaced people. [Emphasis added]
Though research has found that refugee resettlement to the U.S. costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, the lawmakers said surges in refugees are necessary for economic growth.

These people are sick in their heads.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
I don’t think there is anyone unexpected on that list, is there? Every single one with an “R” next to their name has a bad reputation to conservatives, and all the ones with “D”, well, they speak for themselves.
Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Lee, Romney, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.
REALLY? Who are these people? Our rulers evidently.
Is it just me or has that list been getting longer?
P.S.-—Moore-Capito
Move as many MS-13 gang bangers into the homes of these ahole senators.
The MS-13 types will do us a favor.
The US needs a moratorium on immigration.
No more until the ones here all speak English in their homes and adopt American customs, names, and beleifs.
This is a worthwhile read...What stood out to me is the following sentence:
Likewise, the lawmakers called reports “alarming” that the Trump administration would halt the refugee resettlement program for Fiscal Year 2020 for national security reasons and said the U.S. HAS A RESPONSIBILITY, ABOVE ALL ELSE, to be to be compassionate to the world’s migrants.
And of course the Senator’s vision of compassion includes expanding the caps and filling every slot even tho article says research has found that refugee resettlement to the U.S. costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years.
Seriously? ABOVE ALL ELSE???
Should I add her?
I’ve been suspicious of her, but not following her that closely.
Thanks for highlighting in red...
Your HTML skills are better than mine!

No. No more welfare recipients!
I am thinking we need an immigration moratorium in order for people here to assimilate. There is a historical precedent.
why?
it hasn’t worked out so well with the ones already here
I thought the article’s list was a bit short...Guess these were the Senators who had staff able to contact them for their signature...
The letter signers listing is by no means all inclusive of the list of our rulers putting needs of the entire world’s population above US citizens’ welfare.
Stand firm President Trump!
These people are sick in their heads.
Absolutely right, your are!
They should all have to step forward and become a sponsor to foot the bill to cover every refugee they seek to import.
Moreover, everyone of these loons must accept liability for any heinous act of violence perpetrated by their sponsored refugee(s).
I cheat. I copy all the commands to a text file and copy and paste from it.
No!! These politicians are horrid! Why undermine the U.S. citizen?
Well, that is almost Flake’s 35 turncoat list.
