US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a major overhaul of the country’s refugee system, and it may forever change the way people seek and are given refuge on American soil.
Documents obtained by The New York Times suggest the changes would give preference to specific groups, including English speakers, white South Africans, and Europeans who oppose migration.
Earlier this month, Trump planned to slash US refugee admissions from a target of 125,000 last year under the Biden administration to as few as 7,500 in the upcoming fiscal year, according to ABC News.
The proposed changes to the US refugee programme would focus on how well applicants can fit into American society. Refugees might also be asked to take classes on US history, values, and cultural norms.
“The sharp increase in diversity has reduced the level of social trust essential for the functioning of a democratic polity. The administration should only welcome refugees who can be fully and appropriately assimilated and are aligned with the president’s objectives,” according to one of the documents.
Mass immigration is an act of war because it destroys a nation as surely as any other weapon.
Ergo, immigration reform along the above lines is a good thing.
If Trump does this, it will send a strong signal to Europeans who likewise have watched their countries being destroyed by mass immigration. ABN
