GOP/Democrat Senators Beg Trump: Import ‘As Many Refugees as Possible’

A coalition of Republican and Democrat Senators sent President Trump a letter last month, begging his administration to bring “as many refugees as possible” to the United States next year.

In a letter dated August 5 — before Trump announced he would lower the refugee resettlement cap to a maximum of 18,000 admissions for Fiscal Year 2020 — Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Coons (D-DE) led a group of lawmakers to ask that the president increase the number of refugees resettled in the U.S. every year beyond the current year’s 30,000 admissions ceiling.

The lawmakers include:
  • Sen. John Thune (R-SD)
  • Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
  • Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
  • Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN)
  • Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD)
  • Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE)
  • Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)
  • Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY)
  • Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
  • Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
  • Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
  • Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
  • Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
  • Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)
  • Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO)
  • Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA)
Likewise, the lawmakers called reports “alarming” that the Trump administration would halt the refugee resettlement program for Fiscal Year 2020 for national security reasons and said the U.S. has a responsibility, above all else, to be compassionate to the world’s migrants:

  2. What do we have to gain by bringing them here? Don't we have enough poor uneducated people already here in the U.S. that we need to take care of? Once again our politicians are selling us out so they look good on a global stage.

  11. 11:36 I believe it says refugee resettlement for migrants. I didn't see anything about skilled labor. You would be the doofus. Or as I would call you a Liberal piece of crap. Now about the tech industry. What about the Americans in the Tech industry that need jobs? I know I know Americans don't count in the libtard mind because they don't have a place in the Libtard globalist agenda. What is troubling is that you would sell out your own country just so you could present your virtue signaling to the world to get "likes" on social media from the like minded doofuses like yourself. Go back to mommy's basement adults are talking here.
