Number of refugees admitted in US drops by 50 percent under Trump

Fox News / Politics

The number of refugees who entered the U.S. during President Trump’s first three months compared to the last months of President Obama’s term was cut nearly in half, according to statistics released Friday by the Department of Homeland Security. 

 

According to the statistics, a total of 13,000 refugees were admitted to the U.S. in the past three months, compared to 25,000 under Obama, The Los Angeles Times reported. The most popular countries of origins remained the same: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Myanmar.

Obama set the ceiling of 110,000 refugee arrivals across the U.S. President Trump cut that number to 50,000 this year. Congress has approved a budget for only 75,000 for this fiscal year. A U.S. State Department spokesman said the country is now resettling 900 refugee arrivals weekly, to remain within that budget.

Trump was praised by many supporters and criticized by others. Erol Kekic, executive director of the Immigration and Refugee Program for Church World Service, said at the time, “This program simply can’t be turned on and off like a faucet.”

Feds Award $10 Million In Grants To Prevent Terrorist Recruitment, Masjid Muhammad Receives Over Half a Million

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER EPORT

The question is, if Islam and the jihadic doctrine are scrubbed from “extremist” motives, where are these funds going, and to whom? If the Muslim community insists that Islamic terror is not Islamic, then how are these funds being spent? Masjid Muhammad, Inc. received $531,195.

“Deradicalization” programs have proven to be an abject failure. As I long predicted, how can we “deradicalize” Muslim terrorists if these programs refuse to recognize the motive, the ideology behind the religious violence?

The DHS is still using the sharia-complaint term devised by the Obama administration, ” Countering Violent Extremism (CVE).” How absurd. “Extremism” is a measure of a thing. Is “extremism” in. pursuit a bad thing? Is “extremism” in pursuit of the truth a bad thing? Is “extremism” in pursuit of the good a bad thing? Absurd. It’s Islamic terror. It’s jihad. Say it.

Will Racke, Daily Caller, June 23, 2017

The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it has awarded 26 grants totaling $10 million to communities across the U.S. in an effort to fight radicalization and recruitment of American citizens by terrorist groups.The awards are part of the department’s Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Grant Program, which gives money to city and state governments, as well as private organizations, to develop programs that combat terrorism and extremist ideology.

Many of the grant recipients are local police departments, but the award winners also include community groups that can intervene with susceptible young people before they become radicalized through the internet propaganda of international terrorist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaida.
