US under Trump accepts 70% fewer refugees
CNBC ^ | 06/20/2018 | Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson

The number of refugees admitted to the US has fallen 70 percent during the current fiscal year, setting it on course to fall far short of the Trump administration’s targets, according to a new report. … Syrians and Iraqis fleeing violence were hardest hit by the cuts, with the number of Syrians taken in falling by 99 per cent to just 44 — fewer than the number rescue workers say were killed in April’s chemical attack on Douma, the Damascus suburb — and the number of Iraqis down by 98 per cent.

They say it like it’s a bad thing? That’s still way too high.

instead of dropping 70 percent, it should be 100 percent.

How are oppressed Syrians and Iraqis fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their backs getting across the ocean to the USA to claim asylum?

Unless they aren't as helpless as they seem in headlines.

Good. Still, we should not accept any of these fake refugees. And none of those children Laura Bush weeps over.

So - anecdotal evidence...

Place where I occasionally shop used to have a dozen or more "pop-up" booths in a common area, all selling cheap crap. Windup toys, cheap makeup and jewelery, R/C toys that break as soon as you take them out of the box, and so on. All of them were run by Arabs - dunno which country - and they were all a bunch of sleazeballs. Real loud and pushy, even to kids.

I started avoiding the place, just went, got what I needed and got out. If I want to shop in a 3rd world market, I'll visit the 3rd world.

For the last 8-9 months, though, the popups have been closed and covered up. No more Arabs. What got my attention is that they all closed before Christmas - when they *should* have been getting the most business.

Sez me, "Hmmmm". Interesting coincidence.

I have no problem with legitimate refugees, but the refugee system has been abused. The administration is doing the right thing.

Now, I might be willing to let in South African farmers whose land is being stolen violently, but other than that, I’d continue as we’re going.
