For what it’s worth, my “friends” on FB are saying there is a Refugee Act of 1980 that allow the president power to do this. I didn’t read much further so don’t have details.
bttt
I believe you are correct
The annual admission of refugees is set to a 50,000 cap per fiscal year unless in an emergency situation, during which the president may change this number for a period of twelve months. The Attorney General is also granted power to admit additional refugees and grant asylum to current aliens, but all admissions must be reported to congress and are limited to 5,000 people.[6]
That’s a specific act for a specific group of people.
However, as Rush Limbaugh clearly stated today, the Congress has the duty of setting immigration policy .. NOT THE PRESIDENT.
Go to Rush’s website and read it for yourself.
You want to turn refugees away? Protest like the Occupy/BLM types to. Shut down cities, yell and scream, make noise. At this point our leaders (some) are ignoring our wishes, its up to us to make their lives miserable.
Yes, but does he have the right to put them wherever he wants? The language of the “Act” doesn’t make it clear.
Absolutely. But I think they are classifying them as refugees and not normal immigrants.
But, it’s still an immigration issue .. not an Executive Order for the President to make.
And, if he does, he’ll get the same treatment he’s getting now re his “immigration” plans.
Hmmmmm ..?? A jack-booted thug for Obama .. are you ..??
Good luck with that ... ROTFLOL
The hat emblem will make for a good aim point
Your “friends” on FB are constitutionally illiterate.
Bttt.
...and who in the Congress is not going to kiss obuma’s butt????.....
Really ..?? That’s your only comment ..??
The WHOLE Congress is not sycophants; while you may want to believe that.
But, this current fight is between Obama and the Governors. Since most of them are not cowards, I suspect they will form a group and .. then we’ll see what happens.
Leftists are constantly trying for force us to do things against our wishes, our convictions, and our good judgment.
This ought to be one of the key issues of this campaign - they want to run our lives - and this is one of the last chances we are going to have to say “hell NO”.
Well where have they been on this subject???????????
I don’t remember Ryan piping up Saturday, Sunday, Monday and only today he was laid back....
Those of us in some of these States have been working the phones, emails to our national representatives and Senators, to our Governors and to our Assembly people, that takes work, and then to have people like McConnell and Ryan act like NOTHING....you bet I’m upset....I personally spent HOURS yesterday trying to do what I could and I’m not letting some spineless sissy in Washington D.C. take away the hours we have spent on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
