Trump administration announces it’s slashing refugee admissions to a record low

The new cap would be the lowest since the program began in 1980.

The United States will admit will a maximum of 30,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced at a press briefing late Monday afternoon.

During the briefing, Pompeo said refugee admittance should not be seen as the “sole barometer” to measure a country’s humanitarian efforts and that the 30,000 cap “must be considered in the context of the many other forms of protection and assistance offered by the United States.”

The new cap would be the lowest since the program began in 1980 and represents less than one-third of the average number of refugees admitted before President Donald Trump took office. When Trump entered the White House, the refugee cap was at 110,000. He lowered it to 50,000, and eventually to 45,000.

Good.  Count at least 5x more coming in under this program than the stated figure as chain migration takes place.

Good. But I bet the left is ramping up another legal challenge out in the 10th circus.

Slash to Zero. 

But it is nice to see some shrinkage.

Agreed, Ghost.

Cut ALL immigration to zero or very close to it.
No more coming in for say, 40-50 years, with very few exceptions.

We're "full up" now, overcrowded in places.
We don' need no mo'...
