Bureaucrats Bring 500 Refugees Into Country One Day Before Trump’s Expected Ban
Breitbart ^ | 01/24/17 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Bureaucrats at the State Department brought 500 refugees into the country on Tuesday, one day before President Trump “is expected to order a multi-month ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place,” according to Reuters. The temporary ban on refugees will be one of several executive orders on immigration President Trump will sign on Wednesday, Reuters reports. “Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.”

Two hundred and twenty-six of the 500 refugees resettled in the United States on Tuesday, or 44 percent, came from six of those seven countries, according to the State Department’s interactive website, as reported at 11:00 p.m. eastern on Tuesday: Syria (81), Iran (51), Iraq (46), Somalia (43), Sudan (4), and Yemen (1). No refugees from Libya were resettled in the United States on Tuesday.

From the beginning of FY 2016 on October 1, 2015 until January 24, 2017, a total of 115,879 refugees have been resettled in the United States, according to the State Department’s interactive website.

Fifty-two thousand and sixty-nine of those refugees, or 45 percent, came from those seven countries: Syria (17,341), Iraq (14,613), Somalia (12,914), Iran (5,278), Sudan (1,887), Yemen (32), and Libya (4).

On the campaign trail, candidate Trump promised to suspend refugee resettlement from Syria, as well countries that are hostile to the United States.

Legal experts agree that President Trump has the legal authority to issue an executive order banning the resettlement of refugees in the United States.

Notice how in a sea of military aged men the photographer homes in on the only 2 children in a group of 100? This is an example of fake news or yellow journalism. The photo journalist is giving a false representation to forward an agenda.

That is EXACTLY it. Even the U.N. with their VERY CONSERVATIVE number say the young men of fighting age (ISIS in other words) out number the women and children 7 to 1.

There’s a woman in the background on the right dressed in white with a black head scarf. See? Gotta have that token female jihadi, you know.

Deport the 115,879 refugees that are already here. Arrest, charge with crimes, incarcerate and terminate the bureaucrats involved. They believe they are above the law. Send them home with no pension.

He has to stop USCIS from taking any more applications from illegal aliens for DACA.
Every day that goes by with no action 140-150 more illegal aliens are being given work papers and permission to stay.
Even if they don’t rescind the papers already given out they have to stop issuing new ones right away.

Woek Papers??? What work papers? They cannot read/write/or speak English fluently. What skills do they have other than mayhem?

Haven’t seen too many jobs in the want ads for ‘mayhem organizers’.

Would any of you hire any of these people? I would NOT. IF I want them to work 8 hours a day-—I am NOT giving them a space or time to put down their prayer rugs & chant.

EVERY SINGLE PENNY it takes to support all these people is coming from taxes that AMERICANS paid into the
Feds. Housing-food-medical-clothing-entertainment-phones-you name it. They will be getting more support than about 1/3 of the AMERICANS who are on Soc Security.

WRONG——JUST PLAIN WRONG!!!

If it were up to me, I would have the “bureaucrats” arrested, convicted and executed for assisting the enemy.

They probably kidnapped the children on their way in. They are both girls. (shudder)
