First, on the refugee thing, you may be confusing refugees we bring here from overseas with those who are already here or at the border claiming asylum. The former are screened by the UN, then by US officials in a 4-5 step security process that can take many months and involve more than one intelligence agency. The system is based on “burden sharing”, the notion that some countries of first refuge, say Thailand, sheltered post-war Vietnamese refugees with the understanding that the US and other distant countries will take them in after screening those most appropriate to come to the US. We took in between 60-100k per year, in accord with the president’s setting of numbers and regions of the world. It’s that number that Trump has reduced to a fraction of the usual total.
As you said, in accord with the president. It's his decision. If you don't like it, don't vote for him.
As to the poem, don’t believe me, believe Trump. He’s the one who said it was about immigrants.
You keep claiming that, but you won't provide the proof of your claim. Tell me...did you look it up and find out I was right?
