There are a variety of reasons, not to take in these refugees. There are also a great many protections that should be considered before we take in anyone. The multi-generational interests, purpose--call it "intention"-- of America's Founders is not something of so little value as to be ignored for a single foreign generation's problem. Whatever the humanitarian project Ivanka advocates, it cannot rationally be viewed in a vacuum.
Ivanka's sentiments offer an opportunity for a fuller discussion; a fuller discussion that gives us a chance to make points--to gain new supporters, by showing a far deeper understanding of the full context of the issue, than those who rail against us.
Let us with courtesy & respect for the fact that Ivanka is Donald Trump's well loved daughter, engage in the necessary discussion.
Incidentally, my analysis of the complex of factors, points me to oppose almost any immigration not absolutely consistent with our long neglected heritage. I am not a monster; only one who has sworn to uphold the stated purpose of our Constitution. I do not believe that very many Syrian refugees could even discuss that purpose with the necessary level of understanding.
Promises, promises: As we approach 100 days, Trump has dropped ball on refugee program reform
With about a week to go until his administration reaches the 100-day mark, President Trump’s campaign promises to halt Syrian refugee resettlement and tighten up the refugee vetting process remain largely unfulfilled.
Yeah, Hillary would have been much, much better.
We probably should bring in a few thousand legit Syrian refugees who have aided Americans in the past and who could become productive residents
These people should be vetted by the US military people they have served with
We dot need ex Jihadi nor do we need tens of thousands of Muslim military age men who are UN NGO vetted fake “ refugees”
If Donald Trump wants to lose the support of his base and go down in a humiliating Mondale like loss in 2020 and be recorded in history as an embarrassing failure, he needs to keep capitulating to Paul Ryan and taking the advice of his liberal daughter and son in law. They’ll make it happen for him.
Geesh. Get rid of 3 screaming mimis (Moochell, ValJar and Granny Robinson) only to cede WH to a dim-witted blond. STHU! (please).
Well Gunga Din
You know what they say
She pisses me off
But she’s far too lovely to hate
I’d drink her bath water but I wish she would just go back to being a mommy and take Frisch Kush with her
these people are REALLY beginning to make me sick
Ivanka Trump: Resettling Syrian Refugees In US Should Be ‘Part Of The Discussion’ >>>>>>
NOOP.
No wander Steve Bannon is having disagreements with Jared and Ivanka. These little panti-waists need to go. Soon.
Exactly. Saw a video the other day where a Saudi Imam type was saying, "The reason we don't allow Christianity in Saudi Arabia is because it's incompatible with Islam." Well, duh!
wears dentures
Okay.
“No.”
End of discussion.”
Just what I was going to post. Okay we have had the discussions and the answer is no.
I expect DJT to have a public comment on his daughter’s talking points.
Yes....I think all recognize Ivanka is a confident women...but for her to say she isn’t yet familiar with what her role is, and yet go on a diplomatic mission speaks volumes that she should not have been there nor speaking. And frankly she shouldn’t be sitting in on all these meetings either IMO at least until her role has been defined sufficient to answer it when asked.
She just needs to step way back for a time and determine where it is she will “serve” the President....instead of trying to make a space for the presidents daughter.....
Jarad I have no issues with....he’s been appointed as a Senior Advisor with other responsibilities as well and I have not seen any indications he’s doing more than supporting Trumps agenda..he knows where the buck stops. Ivanka..not so much.
As long as they are Christians.
I’m already beginning to be really tired of her.
With all the lies, misrepresentation, etc the globe is doing to/with DJT, there is absolutely no room for ambiguity until they understand the US’ positions.
The perception that Ivanka has given people, and stated as much by her, is she is a feminist and activist...which she certainly has chosen for herself....but this does play into her political statements if you're familiar with her previous interviews and speeches. Though Ivanka says she would not oppose anything her "father" says....what she has spoken does indicate she has her own political agenda and desire for power.
This would not be such an issue for me were she speaking out from her position 'in her company'......but she is not there, she IS working in the West Wing and therefore is in the service to the President..not her father....nor to advance her own causes independently of his nor as a diplomat on foreign soil she has not been appointed to......
Additionally....On foreign soil she states that "The US is the only Nation which does not support paid leave for women"...that is a policy issue...which comes at a cost to taxpayers....she should not be speaking of such without the authority to do so.
Somebody has given her the talk about how much money is in this for various globalists, and possibly promised her a share of it if she gets on board.
