United States admits zero refugees for the first time since records began

The United States government admitted no refugees last month for the first time since records began. Advocacy group World Relief said October 2019 was the first month in 30 years that the US government failed to allow a single refugee to resettle. The US was the world’s leading refugee resettlement destination until Donald Trump became president in 2017. It had previously resettled more refugees than all other countries on Earth put together, but began slipping down the ranks in the first year of Trump’s presidency.

What Stephen Miller sent to me in those emails has become policy at the Trump administration,’ recipient says


White ethno nationalist supremacists now run the immigration policy. This cannot be allowed to stand. Apart from doing the right thing and complying with international law, refugees are good for the economy.
