    Default 77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from 7 suspect countries

    he State Department has more than doubled the rate of refugees from Iraq, Syria and other suspect countries in the week since a federal judge’s reprieve, in what analysts said appears to be a push to admit as many people as possible before another court puts the program back on ice.

    A staggering 77 percent of the 1,100 refugees let in since Judge James L. Robart’s Feb. 3 order have been from the seven suspect countries. Nearly a third are from Syria alone — a country that President Trump has ordered be banned altogether from the refugee program. Another 21 percent are from Iraq. By contrast, in the two weeks before Judge Robart’s order, just 9 percent of refugees were from Syria and 6 percent were from Iraq.

    “There’s no doubt in my mind they would be doing whatever they could to get people in before something changes because, from their perspective, their motivation is to resettle these folks. It would not be the first time that State Department officials have prioritized facilitating someone’s entry to the United States over security concerns,” said Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies.

    Mr. Trump issued an executive order Jan. 27 putting in place the early stages of his extreme vetting policy, including an immediate 90-day pause on admitting visitors from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen — all countries where the government says it can’t be sure of its vetting procedures.

    The executive order also called for an immediate 120-day halt to admitting refugees from anywhere around the globe. Mr. Trump singled out Syria in particular, saying refugees from there are halted indefinitely.

    Late last week Judge Robart ruled Mr. Trump had likely overstepped legal boundaries and issued a temporary restraining order for most of the policy. An appeals court ruled Thursday to uphold the “TRO,” as it’s known in lawyer-speak.


    Immediately after Judge Robart’s decision, the State Department and Homeland Security agencies kicked back into gear, beginning to accept both refugees and visitors from the suspect countries.

    Numbers weren’t available on the effects of the broader travel ban, but 1,110 refugees were admitted in the days since the program was restarted — and of those, 849 were from the seven danger countries the president singled out. A whopping 346 were from Syria alone, and another 232 were from Iraq.

    The surge has also meant a major jump in the number of self-identified Muslims admitted: 64 percent of the new batch of refugees are from some sect of Islam, compared to just 31 percent in the first weeks of the Trump administration.

    “It would appear, based on the numbers, that there is an effort within the refugee resettlement program to rush in as many of the nationals of these seven countries as possible before a ruling is made on the TRO,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager at NumbersUSA.

    Mr. Trump himself seemed to be aware of the changes, posting an oblique Twitter message on Wednesday asking the courts to issue a new decision overturning Judge Robart and reinstating his extreme vetting policy.

    “Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!” the president tweeted.

    The State Department, in a statement to The Washington Times explaining the numbers, said it was focusing on “rescheduling those whose travel had been suspended the previous week.”

    Nine organizations in the U.S. are chartered by the government to help with resettling refugees here.

    State needs to be cleaned out of all high management personnel. The TRO on the XO is being used as an excuse to flood the US with refugees from the '7 countries' at the obvious displeasure of POTUS..

    State is inherently a bunch of do gooders with no regards for national security-but this has got to stop
    and it can't wait for the courts.

    Time for another XO

    The hypocrisy of the left is blinding........

    Bill Clinton Was Trump Back In 1995 - Illegal Immigration

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    It must be truly horrifying to live in such shit staining fear of those you don't know and don't understand. Not one single terrorist attack has ever occurred or been perpetrated in this nation by anyone from those nations yet in your fear and blind bigotry you give a pass to those, like the terrorist from Saudi Arabia, who have.

    We have a large Somali refugee community here in Columbus. I personally know quite a few of them and work with several and they are all, without exception hard working, humble, hospitable, friendly people who try like hell to assimilate into our nation and they do share and aspire to our American dream despite the hatred and intolerance of narrow minded bigots who shit themselves in fear about anything and anyone different from they are.

    Well I have little patience for cowards who are so blinded by hate and bigotry and I feel sad for them as they are truly sad. I personally put aside those childish fears a long time ago and I have been open minded enough to learn to know and try to understand these people who are different than I and I have grown immeasurably as a person and have been rewarded by the priceless love of an immigrant woman who has enriched my life in so many ways. These are the rewards of courage and I highly recommend it.
