Trump, Refugees and the American Left
American Thinker ^ | January 30, 2017 | Steve McCann

President Trump issued an executive order on January 27th suspending indefinitely admission of refugees from Syria and halting all potential refugee immigration from six other Islamic countries for a period of 90 days, after which time a significant percentage of 50,000 refugees worldwide could be admitted annually from the Middle East. During this interval, a new process will be put in place to significantly tighten vetting of all refugees from this region while giving preference to persecuted religious minorities. One need only look at the numerous terrorist attacks in Europe over the past year, due almost entirely to their open border policies regarding refugees from the Middle East, to conclude this is a common-sense order. However, it is being totally misrepresented by the media and the American Left as an anti-Muslim, racist and inhumane.

The usual suspects on the Left, such as the ACLU and numerous advocacy groups are in a total meltdown. Some within this ideological assemblage are utilizing the threadbare tactic of isolating a few examples of true hardship as the image of all refugees from his region and the inevitable few that fall through the cracks, as happens when any new law or order is implemented, as confirmation of the heartlessness and illegality of Donald Trump and Republicans. Others on the Left attempt to make the case for the inhumanity of these orders by comparing this refugee flow to that of pre-and post-World War II wherein the globe was awash in displaced Jews and survivors of the most devastating five-year period in human history.

If Rasmussen Reports is accurate, these protestors represent only 33% of the country. If they keep this crap up, it will be less than 10% within a month.

I think if President Trump decides in the future to let some refugee’s in, They should ONLY be Allowed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento.

The State is going down in flames, might as well throw a little gas on the fire to help the snowflakes.

NBC's Lester Holt's Statue of Liberty report is biased; he failed to mention that Pres Trump's actions apply to:

<><> organized refugee cabals plotting to overthrow the US govt,

<><> individuals plotting to annihilate our laws and Constitution, and,

<><> America-haters looking to establish a govt of THEIR choosing based on their fanatical religious leanings.

==============================================

Sap-happy Lester Holt is braindead.......his Statue of Liberty report doesn’t point out that those who headed for our shores back then did NOT arrive having a dedicated game plan hatched in their homelands to kill and harm Americans.
