Discussion: US Refugee Admissions Program Not Suspended Until July 12

Clunkiest headline in the history of headlines. Shoulda gone with the first line in story says it better. But it’s still terrible news no matter how it’s written.

The State Department says the U.S. refugee admissions program won’t be suspended until next week

The insanity continues. SCOTUS allows for a 90 day ban on muslims from 7, now 6 arbitrary states (the grandmothers from Iraq suddenly saw a Christian God?) so Trump can protect the country from terrorists, grandmothers who haven’t attacked the USA since Jan 20. When Trump had 150+ days to figure out his “extreme vetting”. Now he needs 90 more days what do what he didn’t do in 150 days… to protect the country from grandmothers.

SCOTUS is a joke.
And will get worse when Kennedy retires.

The refugee cap/ban was always the worst part of this. Preventing travel is one thing, but preventing refugees from entering who face incredible hardship, have no track record of terrorist attacks and are already extremely well vetted is just plain stupid, cruel and frankly un-American. And now it is clear that up to 50,000 is ok for the year, but somehow number 50,001 is some kind of threat.
