Ivanka Trump, already under growing fire from some in the conservative camps who think she’s exerting too much influence over dad Donald, is now calling for the White House to open doors to Syrian refugees.
Conservatives and border control advocates are quite right to be concerned.
Ivanka’s soft stance on refugees would seem a direct conflict with President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to crack down on borders — and particularly, on the entrance of refugees from terror-tied nations who could prove a national security danger to American citizens.

Not just defending bringing her to the White House, some were saying “Ivanka 2024!”
“So does that mean open U.S. doors to refugees, Ivanka?
“That has to be part of the discussion,” she said. “But that’s not going to be enough in and or itself”
The above is from the article———she did NOT say that we should “open doors to Syrian refugees?
More garbage !!!!
.
Thank you very much!
Yup, quite a few people were saying that around convention time.
Becoming? I used to get called names when I said she was a liberal months ago.
Now I get called names for other reasons :)
She doesn’t have a room a the WH to help pick appetizers.
Lets see how many people can mention they didn’t vote for Ivanka, and still not realize she holds no power to implement what she advocates for?
LMAO
Someone post a pic of Ivanka doing the eye thingy to Donald like Puss-in-Boots does from the Shrek movies.
I stated that Ivanka and her husband will continue to be attacked by the Left for nepotism-plus for the next four years.
I opined that I felt that family advice to the President could and should be confined privately to the breakfast table and his office, figuratively speaking.
I pointed out that the negative drumbeat from the President's enemies will continue on and on....from the conservative side (due to the Kushners' liberal leanings) and from the liberal side alike.
Wow!....did I get dumped on from a few who should know better for that analysis of mine, both on the thread that I had posted on and also by freepmail....and Wow! was I right on the button in my post !
The things that I said will happen is happening now right as is reported in this thread's article above.
I was called a "hater" of the Kushners, an anti-Trumper, a liberal troll, etc....and, as most of you know, I was one of the original Trumpers on this board, and one of his biggest boosters....even composing and posting my original world-famous poems throughout his campaign, LOL.
I don't care about the name-calling, but it's curious how some here will go on the attack for ANY critique of presidential moves, especially when so many good pro-Trump freepers actually voice their sometimes critical opinions of him "more in sorrow than in anger", as the saying goes.
I'll say it again....the appointment of family (in particular, the liberal-leaning Kushners) will be the "gift that keeps on giving" for the attack dogs of the Left.
And it's all so unnecessary.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that you may have been off at least in part.
As for Jared and Ivanka. I didn't vote for them.
I'm also smart enough to know they weren't elected to a position where they can implement policy.
Wish some of my friends here realized that.
I don’t hate her, and so far I can’t really see that she is influencing any policy. I think Trump would have bombed Syria over the chem attacks regardless of her input, because that was a fairly smart move to take as it relates to other key players on the international stage.
That being said. I’m not interested in her political opinions, and I do not need those opinions reported to me as if they matter.
To go with her pinhead political views?
Since I was a professional political writer and an elected GOP official in my salad days and since political PR issues and flare-ups always catch my eye, I have addressed the unfolding Trump/Ivanka/Jared appointment issue strictly from the viewpoint of how I feel the situation is hurting my "hero" and how it will continue to hurt him very badly in the future. It's not going to die down.
However, the President may make some adjustment in the near future...at least I hope so. When he's getting flak from both sides of the political spectrum on this issue, i.e., from both his supporters and his enemies, it's not a good situation to be stuck in for four years.

[[Surely Ivanka is not so stupid as to believe Syrian refugees will enhance our quality of life and support our Constitution. ]]
Don’t bet on it- She’s a liberal
She and Pee Wee Kushner need to go back to NYC.
Taking a step back to watch the Donald / Ivanka thing unfold.....it seems to me Donald is using her as a counterweight.
He does very conservative things on abortion....for instance.
Then Ivanka strides out and makes some drippy speech on (gag) women’s empowerment.
As Doughty One insightfully posted.....Ivanka is not elected to anything and she really doesn’t seem to be affecting policy.
That actually should not be a needed reason for us to keep the “refugees” out of the US.
Actually, it should.
Leni, I’m not sure if you are aware of it or not, but there were folks on this forum addressing Trump’s relationship to his daughter in the early days of the campaign. It was over the line.
That term you used, which you expected us to accept was not used to intimate something crass, was none the less something I wouldn’t have used in relationship to Trump, his daughter, and his son-in-law.
You seem to want Trump to avoid a bad situation. Then you used that term. Couldn’t you have thought better on that?
I voted for Trump because I trusted him. It has paid off. If he wants Ivanka and Jared to help him, I could care less.
If folks want to obsess over them, there’s nothing I can do about it other than realize how juvenile it is to join the Left to carp about Trump incessantly.
We asked him to do a job. It is irrefutable that he is doing it. That’s what I choose to focus on and celebrate.
Ivanka wanted funding for Planned Parenthood. Trump signed legislation that will allow states to defund it. Ivanka wanted us to support government global warming initiatives. Trump stopped funds from going to all such programs.
In addition on the issue of “Right to Life”, Trump ordered all funds given to international agencies that support abortion in some manner, to be halted.
Trump has gone beyond what I expected him to with right to life, both nationally and internationally. He has gone farther than I expected when it comes to pulling government funds out of government initiatives that support global warming remedies.
These are things Trump did that I have been told the Kushners are diametrically opposed to. None the less, we have people here acting as if he has been bowing to each of their dictates.
If the Kushners are ejected, everyone will move on to someone else they don’t like.
When people can’t be satisfied with many good things and choose to focus on a non problem, they won’t quite when that one non-problem is removed. They will move on to another non-problem, and another, and another...
If you can’t please some folks, you simply ignore them.
I’m not going to carry the Left’s water on this forum. The Left hates the Kushners as much as they hate the President. Why they hate them almost as much as people here do.
Who cares?
It was my understanding that there was no more important policy to folks than stopping abortion. Ivanka disagreed with us on that point.
The president did what we wanted anyway. This meant nothing to some folks here. It did to me. I was amazed at what he has done.
Others aren’t. They distrust this guy too much to appreciate anything he has done.
One person seemed to be speaking for many folks here a couple of days ago, when he referenced Trump, “...as a former Leftist, and probably still is.”
I equate trying to appease people like this to a dog chasing their tail. The dog seldom latches on to the tail, and if and when they do, they aren’t satisfied anyway.
So why bother going down that route. It won’t accomplish a thing.
People who want to be unhappy strongly enough, will find a way.
Nope—not with so many Trojan Horse terrorists and our being purposely invaded by Islamists from the Middle East.
