Dangerous Refugees Flooded U.S. After Lifting of Ban, Trump Says

JUPITER, Fla. — President Trump said on Saturday that judicial decisions that halted his executive order banning travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries had allowed a flood of “dangerous” refugees to pour into the country.

“Our legal system is broken!” Mr. Trump wrote in a Twitter posting a day after he said that he was considering a wholesale rewriting of the executive order to circumvent legal hurdles quickly but had not ruled out appealing the major defeat he suffered in a federal appeals court on Thursday. “SO DANGEROUS!” the president added.

Mr. Trump cited a report in The Washington Times that asserted that 77 percent of the refugees who entered the United States since Judge James L. Robart of Federal District Court in Seattle blocked the order on Feb. 3 had been from the seven “suspect countries.”

Still, his allusion to a rush of dangerous refugees is somewhat misleading. According to an analysis of data maintained by the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, the percentage of refugees arriving from those countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — has risen considerably since the directive was suspended, but the weekly total of refugees arriving from the targeted countries has risen by only about 100. And all are stringently vetted.

Can he identify particular individuals who make up this fold of dangerous refugees? Actual history does not support his claims, but his followers are not too concerned with logic.

Such a lowlife. No scruples. No morals. Just ill-informed, bigoted and divisive.

is insane and scary.

And once again he attacks judges. Will blood be on his hands due to his hateful rhetoric when a judge is attacked?

.. killing people to "prove" their beloved DT right?

i hope my fears are unfounded, but I have a nightmare image of a lunatic white-supremacist wearing a thobe, yelling, “Allahu Akbar," as they fire their AR-15 into a crowd somewhere in the USA.
