How infuriatingly embarrassing and un-American.
MORE: This is the former-Gov-Pence-policy-as-executive-order, purporting to allow state and local officials to effectively ban refugee resettlement in their states/localities: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
BIG: This executive order is IN ADDITION TO the refugee cap, and it’s one of the more appalling things I’ve read from this abhorrent administration. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
Under this order, if enforced, BOTH local govt and state govt need to AFFIRMATIVELY CONSENT to participating in the refugee program before refugees are resettled anywhere in the US.
Think through what this means. Banning refugees from his state was Mike Pence’s goal as governor — a goal he failed at, w a big slap-down from Judge Posner & the 7th Circuit — but now Donald Trump is purporting to, effectively, make it A-OK & the law w his executive order.
