Number of refugees admitted to U.S. drops by almost half
LAT ^ | June 23, 2017 | Tracy Wilkinson

Posted on 06/24/2017 6:59:03 AM PDT by GonzoII

The number of refugees admitted to the United States was cut by nearly half in the first three months of the Trump administration compared with the final three months of the Obama presidency, reflecting the new president's skepticism toward immigration.

Government statistics released Friday showed that more than 25,000 refugees were permitted to enter and reside in the United States at the end of the Obama administration. In the initial months under President Trump, the number fell to 13,000.

Still too many if they are coming from the countries on the “no vetting” list. If any of these are terrorists admitted under Hussein’s rule, he ought to be arrested for aiding and abetting the enemy.

Way too many - the number per month should be a large negative number not a positive one.

cut by nearly half

Not near enough.

It been demonstrated these people do not want to integrate, assimilate or get along.

Needs to be cut to zero (at least from the muzzie countries) - but the liberal courts won't have it and DJT won't fight it, so just cut off all immigration until this islamic hell burns itself out..

Trump needs to apply his beauty pageant skills to the immigration process.

The immigration line needs to look like this...

It should be zero, especially since the gov’t admits they have no way to properly vet immigrant refugees. Time for our immigration bureaucrats to subject their kids to the Skittles Test. (Since even they admit that 1% of the immigrants are likely terrorists, let’s get a bowl with 10,000 Skittles, fill 100 of them with a fatal dose of poison, and then have their kids line up and take a handful of the Skittles. It’s a perfect analogy for unvetted refugees.)

That's all well and good.....refugees admitted to U.S. drops by almost half; some of the savages still coming from hellholes like Somalia and Mauritania. So hozabout getting rid of the ones already here sucking off taxpayers planning to make our lives miserable.

BACKSTORY Despite state governors' concerns, boobomba secretly launched a major “refugee project” to foist rabid Christian-hating terrorists, criminals, torturers, beheaders on unsuspecting US citizens and their families.....hiding them in American communities, stealing our tax dollars to set them up in relative luxury.

Under cover of night, Obama facilitated a steady stream of Somali, Syrian, Afghan, Iraqi and Burmese Muslims, refugees who committed crimes in their homelands: Afghanistan, Algeria, Burundi, Cape Verde, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

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

More alarmingly, then pres Obama secretly resettled refugees in the US from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan......these are listed among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where hottific female genital mutilation is practiced....usually on little girls.

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

We also just learn this booboma-thingy endangered Americans by letting in vicious savages----drug cartel gangs from latino hellholes into our communities.

And he's got the unmitigated gall to express sympathy for the Grande concert victims. 5/25

Even one piece of filth is a turd too many.

The State Department is still very much part of the Deep State. Rex "Gay Boy Scout" Tillerson is a big part of the problem.

Still way too many. We have enough people here without the need to add people with problems or who will give us problems.

Cordon off areas and set up camps. Let them live in their own countries, their own language, culture, weather.

If he does, I am willing to open up my home as a sanctuary for these poor, deprived young ladies. I'm quite the humanitarian.

Cut immigration off completely until we are able to cope with those already here.

We are caught in a sort of Cloward-Piven dilema where the capacity of our nation to absorb immigrants has been overwhelmed.

And it didn't happen by accident - it was done intentionally by our own government.

Back in 1965 our politicians made a decision to turn white America more black and brown and passed the 1965 Immigration Act to accomplish it.
Now they have turned our nation into a dumping ground for the most backward trouble-makers, bums, dregs and riff-raff of the planet.

In the last 30 years we have had far too many immigrants come in.
And the majority have been from the most destitute, backward countries.

Just take a look at the graph to see the huge jump in immigration when Bill Clinton took office.
The high influx has outstripped our ability to absorb them and for them to become educated, "Americanized", and self supporting.

It will take at least 50 years for those already here to assimilate - perhaps much longer.
Most of this new wave of immigrants is from countries where the culture is much different than ours.
These new immigrants do not assimilate as quickly as did the Europeans in the great immigration wave of 1890-1900.

That's assuming we get smart and stop the establishment of No-Go colonies by muslims and hispanics.

Completely agree. Tillerson should fly his rainbow flag in Somalia or Iran!

Exactly what the feminist Red Guards don't want it to look like. :)
