Trump White House (again) thinking about moving refugee admissions OUT of State Department

I’m in no position to judge the wisest place to move it, but I am eager to see the little fiefdoms fall and cozy relationships broken between resettlement contractors and DOS bureaucrats.

And, I have long maintained that refugee admission decisions should not be used as part of our foreign policy wheeling and dealing!

I say, do it!  The US State Dept has become a nest of vipers.  Leaving ANY thing under their control is asking for disaster.
