Trump Proposes Lowest Refugee Admission Ceiling in Decades

(CNSNews.com) –  The Trump administration’s proposed ceiling of 45,000 refugees to be resettled in the United States in the new fiscal year is the lowest cap set since the Refugee Act was passed in 1980.

On Wednesday the administration sent to Congress a report on its refugee admission plans for FY 2018. The 45,000 ceiling is a 59 percent drop from the 110,000 cap set by the Obama administration a year ago for FY 2017. (President Trump’s January 27 executive order lowered that to 50,000.)

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

IIRC, the President has the authority to set or eliminate entirely the admission of people from other countries, as a matter of national security. He doesn't need to 'propose' squat, just do it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

45,000 is far FAR too high.

How about 4,500?

Or... 450?
