| Foggy Bottom Bureaucrats Bring 500 Refugees Into US One Day Before DJT's Expected Ban |
| 2017-01-25 |
| [Breitbart] Bureaucrats at the State Department brought 500 refugees into the country on Tuesday, one day before President Trump "is expected to order a multi-month ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place," according to Reuters. The temporary ban on refugees will be one of several executive orders on immigration President Trump will sign on Wednesday, Reuters reports. "Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified." Two hundred and twenty-six of the 500 refugees resettled in the United States on Tuesday, or 44 percent, came from six of those seven countries, according to the State Department’s interactive website, as reported at 11:00 p.m. eastern on Tuesday: Syria (81), Iran (51), Iraq (46), Somalia (43), Sudan (4), and Yemen (1). No refugees from Libya were resettled in the United States on Tuesday. |

| #7 I wonder if refugee flight tickets are discounted? I'm old, I'm white, I'm threatened, I can't find work, I'm discriminated against by EEO and HR hiring agencies, I feel persecuted. I want temporary relocation to the Caymans while my case is reviewed. |

| #6 The 500 refugees were no doubt brought in under President Obama's standing orders, which they will argue were in effect until President Trump changed them. One hopes the next order after stopping the importation will be to find all those recently brought in, to subject them to additional processing or something. |

| #3 Send the refugees back, send the people that brought them here, with them. Spot on OC! A highly commendable solution which alleviates not one, but two problems. |

| #1 This is clearly an act of subterfuge and treason which should NOT go unpunished. Those responsible should be fired immediately and banned from further gov't service. |
