Under Trump, U.S. no longer leads world on refugee protections

For decades, America led the world in humanitarian policies by creating a sanctuary for the oppressed, admitting more refugees annually than all other countries combined.

They include an Iraqi woman who can’t get to America even though her father helped the U.S. military and a woman in Uganda who hasn’t been able to join her husband near Seattle despite a court settlement requiring cases like hers to be expedited. The administration also narrowed eligibility this year, restricting which refugees are selected for resettlement to certain categories, including people persecuted because of religion and Iraqis whose assistance to the U.S. put them in danger.

Those from countries like Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Nepal and Syria now face deportation under a plan to end the program in January. Among them is Lili Montalvan, who arrived from El Salvador alone at 16 a quarter-century ago.Living in Miami, she has a 6-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son who are American citizens. She can’t fathom raising her youngest in El Salvador. Their father was deported back to Peru last year.

After one son arrived in 2016, the door slammed shut for everyone else in October 2017, when the Trump administration suspended refugee admissions for four months and then required more vetting of spouses and children on the verge of joining their families in the U.S.

That’s good! Let another Country step up to saving the whole world

Great opportunity for Canada to increase its population! Well done!

Finally! Canada coming through! Thanks JT!

Just imagine if it had good weather

Canada always picks up the U.S. rejects.

Enjoy that Canada. This will be the beginning of your decline.

That’s good.

So many amazing, resilient human beings that are going to become productive members of society up in Canada. playing their part in a productive economy. In America, I would trade any refugee for a couple dirtbags that live in my neighborhood. With honor.

Like duh. This is the same man who defended separations of border families then when disaster struck our own territory he threw a paper towel. He lacks anything remotely resembling human decency. And this guy is still in charge and somehow people think he’s good and deserving.

No surprise. realDonaldTrump, Stephen Miller, Rod Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions all need to be brought up on charges of CrimesAgainstHumanity for their unconscionable child separation policy.

Under Trump, we can no longer be the leader, internationally or domestically, because we have committed human rights violations. We have no room to criticize another country. Humbling.

1) will they take US citizens fleeing the violence of US police 2) yet another way that we've lost our leading status thanks to GOP

This is an absolutely shameful moment for our country. Vote Biden.

It’s the “Christians” that see this a positive lol

We're much too Christian a nation to help refugees.

Good. Let's keep it that way.

We have the room. The more the merrier. Bring your ideas! Help us make Canada even better.

Suckers!

It’s about time Canada does its part

Under Trump, US no longer leads world on refugee protectionsRefugees who once found a safe haven in the U.S. are struggling to resettle in the country and reunite with their families. President Trump's immigration policies have eroded America's leading role in protecting people fleeing war and persecution. Good. Other countries can lead for a bit. No matter what happens...the USA will CONTINUE to become culturally gentrified, RED states will become less alienated, more than one language will be spoken and there is nothing the GOP can do about it. Viva America! Trump is just bad for the world, period.
