The Trump administration is considering effectively shutting down the countrys refugee resettlement program, according to a report, a scheme which has brought more than 3.5 million foreign nationals to the United States since 1980.
According to three sources who spoke to Politico, federal immigration officials at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have suggested that the annual refugee cap be set anywhere between zero or 3,000 to 10,000.
Politicos Ted Hesson reported:
The Trump administration is considering a virtual shutdown of refugee admissions next year cutting the number to nearly zero according to three people familiar with the plan. [Emphasis added]
During a key meeting of security officials on refugee admissions last week, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services representative who is closely aligned with White House immigration adviser Stephen Miller suggested setting a cap at zero, the people said. Homeland Security Department officials at the meeting later floated making the level anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000, according to one of the people. [Emphasis added]

neither with the lutherans or catholics
Should be reset to MINUS 3,000-10,000.
HE has considered things a while in the past before actually doing those things.
You don’t trust Trump or you think he has said many things and didn’t follow through?
I’m not accusing, but there must be a reason for your statement.
Just curious :) Maybe you’re right
I agree....This Deep State ploy to eviscerate America has caught most republicans off guard....
Let’s hope they get “WOKE” soon.
Sadly, Trump's accomplishments regarding immigration are all in the future. By the actual numbers, this is Obama's third term.
I like ZERO.
Compromise: 0 - 3,000.
When President Trump considers, he is foreshadowing what will happen.
There’s a purpose to everything Trump does and/or says....
There’s also a purpose to all the https://freerepublic.com/donate/ links on FR....
But this one will meet resistance like he has never met in the past, and I don't think he can get it done. I think it's posturing, letting the do-nothings know that he has the power to shut off the tap entirely if they don't start making sense.
Agree and irrelevant considering all the illegals walking across the border daily anyway.
Good. Id take them if we were talking about Yazidis or other Christians in the Middle East who truly are under dire threat and who look like they would fit in with Americas dominant culture. Unfortunately, this country has had a lot of trash dumped on it in the last 40 years innthe name of refugee resettlement .
“Considering” was called a “trial balloon” back in JFK’s administration.
You are right.
I hope public polling is for this limitation so that he feels he has the people behind him at least.
Member when dhimmicrats said overpopulation was bad?
Cutting to zero is only a minuscule first step... Must cut to minus 20-million...
