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.

Viva America! Trump is just bad for the world, period.
