Donald Trump Promises to Halt All Refugee Resettlement in Response to War in Middle East

Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner in the Republican presidential primary, is again promising to halt all refugee resettlement to the United States in response to war in Israel following terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas.

“A vote for crooked Joe is a vote to turn the United States into a hotbed for jihadists and make our cities into dumping grounds resembling the Gaza Strip,” Trump told voters in Derry, New Hampshire. “A vote for President Trump is a vote to … keep radical Islamic terrorists and their supporters the hell out of our country.”

According to Trump, he will reinstate a travel ban for “terror-afflicted” foreign countries while also pausing all refugee resettlement to the U.S.

“If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country, and you are not getting in,” Trump said.

The former president’s distinction to stop refugee resettlement altogether is significant, as fellow GOP presidential primary candidates have said they will oppose importing Palestinians from Gaza to the U.S. but have not commented on the federal government’s resettlement program.

Refugee resettlement also inevitably adds so-called “chain migration” to the U.S. as refugees secure green cards and, eventually, naturalized American citizenship. From there, they are able to sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives for green cards. About seven in ten legal immigrants arrive through chain migration every year.

In 2022 and 2021, President Joe Biden’s administration brought many refugees from Arab nations — those most likely to sympathize with Hamas — to the U.S.

For example, the Biden administration has resettled nearly 9,500 nationals from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Syria, and Sudan in the prior two fiscal years. Annual refugee data is not yet available for Fiscal Year 2023.

Donald Trump Promises to Halt All Refugee Resettlement in Response to War in Middle East

Excellent!

[Phoenix8]

Trump is correct.

We need a total immigration pause for 2 years with the walls being built and a revamping of how we vet and admit. not even speaking of sorting out the mess we have here already.

We need a total immigration pause for 20 years

Fixed it.

Apparently these Senators are OK with US arms giveaways to a foreign country.
So does this mean we Americans get all the arms we want?

A couple of things the uniparty loves to agree upon; junkets and free travel and spending money.

President Trump also promised mass deportations.

Only accomplishing both mass deportations and a complete shutdown
at both north and south USA borders will fix our broken country.

The immigration we currently have is the immigration the parties want.

They could stop the drug smuggling and slave trading at anytime. They could have stopped it years ago.

It doesn’t matter what they say, they will not stop it.

[drwoof]

At least. All the while re-patriating illegals.

[OKSooner]

Optimistically, he'll have to find a way to do it before he's sworn in in January 2025 because we just don't have that much time.

By that time it will be all over except the funeral anyway.

Once they're here, deporting them is exponentially more problematic than just stopping the invasion now. /Captain Obvious.

Donald Trump is a great man, one of very few in DC looking out for and speaking up for Americans.

95% of those go to Washington with inclinations to right our ship get subsumed, digested, swallowed up, and ruined by the Globalist Uniparty. The siren call of money is too great for most to ignore (cf, “Biden”). Trump didn’t need the money so he could do our work. God bless him.

[FlyingEagle]

The zips are already in the wire. They need to be expunged.

[central_va]

I wonder what the bag limit will be on illegals?

[Liz]

All of them in complete agreement......

“We need a total immigration pause for 20 years”

Absolutely right. The number of foreign-born is at an all-time high. In the past, people emigrated to the USA to BECOME Americans and partake of all of our opportunity. We were taught the blessings of the “Melting Pot” in grade school long ago.

Now many (most?) arriving here are unproductive leeches with zero intention of learning what it means to be an American or become an American. Is there anything worse than these ingrates arriving here, then waving flags from their homeland and protesting AGAINST the USA? Why would you leave your wonderful home to come to an awful place of oppression, ruin, and misery?

[OKSooner]

That's the optimistic view.

Personally, one believes that in the unlikely event Trump should win the election, he'll never be inaugurated in January 2025.

[central_va]

We were taught the blessings of the “Melting Pot”

Was it ever a "blessing"? I would say a limited necessary evil. With 330+ million here now do we need to import one more person?

[John S Mosby]

Yes, 20 years coupled with a complete scrubbing of all illegals in country. Track them down soon as possible because they will have thrown away any ‘high tech’ app loaded tracker phones. Carefully make the public aware that they cannot hire these people nor give them a right to vote or even... drive. Hire these people at great personal risk- as they have few if any skill sets, and many are 5th column fighting age males.

Imagine How Much Better Off America Would Be Today If Trump Was Leading The Nation On September 9, 2001

[roving]

We will probably have another 9/11 before Trump gets in there.
