Obviously unrelated to Trump since his EOs were illegal.
In the initial months under President Trump, the number fell to 13,000
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.
The statistics were released by the Department of Homeland Security, based on information supplied by the State Department.
Countries of origin were largely unchanged. In both periods, two-thirds of the arrivals came from five countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Myanmar.

Thank you, Mr. President!
Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

You got to be kidding me, you just used "InfoWars" as a source? For real, "InfoWars?"
Are things that desperate on the right?
"InfoWars," too funny

https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-stat...al-immigrationOver 25,000 refugees were admitted in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2017 (which would be Oct,Nov,Dec 2016), and over 13,000 refugees were admitted in the second quarter(which would be Jan,Feb,Mar) (see Table 2). Compared to the same quarters in Fiscal Year 2016, first-quarter arrivals reflected an 86 percent year-over-year increase, while second-quarter arrivals were 12 percent lower than the same period in Fiscal Year 2016.

another reason to be ever grateful Hillary lost.he data suggest that the Obama administration, as it was about to turn over power to Trump, significantly stepped up the number of refugees admitted. Arrivals in its final three months reflected an 86% year-over-year increase compared to the same period the previous year.
These are refugees. Not illegal immigrants. These folks generally are in harms way and are seeking asylum. These are the folks that really need help and we should offer it as much as possible.
There you have it folks.
An articulation of the moral values of the Republican base: to cheer when America is not helping refugees evade oppression, enslavement, war, and murder.
