Refugee Spigot Is Turned Up, Sanctions Against Sanctuary Cities Evaporate

What the hell is going on here?

The State Department will no longer restrict the number of refugees allowed to enter the U.S., a huge break from what President Trump promised on the campaign trail last year.

Organizations that help refugees resettle in the U.S. were informed about an abrupt change to allow a level of refugees that would be “unconstrained by the weekly quotas that were in place,” according to an email State official Jennifer Smith sent to groups on Thursday.

Instead of 830 refugees allowed for admission each week, more than 1,500 people could begin entering the country per week starting in June.

At least we’ll have that border wall. Just as soon as Mexico sends the money to pay for it.

No wonder ALIPAC rescinded its endorsement.

Maybe the best way to get people to stop making a fuss about getting screwed out of their country is to trick them into thinking they are getting their way.
