As Trump approaches his first 100 days, he and Kushner have allowed 12,218 “refugees,” mostly from Muslim countries into this country. So much for the getting tough on refugees. The top countries sending “refuges” in Trump’s first 100 days include Congo, Burma, Iraq, Somali and Syria. Trump also said claimed that he would cap the number refugees for the year at 50,000. But Trump and Kushner are on pace to blow past that 50,000 mark.

Since we are coming up on 100 days I was anxious to see how Trump was doing with his campaign promise to (at least) put a moratorium on the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days to review how refugees are vetted and look to assure “extreme vetting” was put in place.
This puts the number for the fiscal year, as of today, at 42,235.
Trump also said he was capping the number for the year at 50,000, but at the present rate of admission, he will surpass 60,000 (an average number since 9/11).
Top resettlement countries included:
Burma (1,497) 401 of these are Rohingya Muslims who, like Syrians, cannot be vetted.
DR Congo (1,866) We are well on our way to reach 50,000 we promised the UN we would scatter across America.
Iraq (1,503) Over 122,000 have been admitted since 2009.
Somalia (1,359) We have admitted well over 100,000 over past 20 years, will it ever end?
Syria (1,472) Remember Trump said he would stop them completely, even said he would send some back, ha! ha!
