All these Reaganite neocons complaining about refugees and illegal immigration. Perhaps we wouldn't have so many if Republicans and the CIA weren't so trigger happy in Central America and the Middle East for the last 30 years.

It isn't like you would like to imagine, where they all come in here and suck up our welfare and jobs that others might have. Anytime you look at something through a narrow lens you miss the big picture.
bs.

Well..everyone ran to their prepared positions fast on this one...

I still want to know what people think about the Republican-dominated Congress..whose funding limits had curtailed refugee entry--'forgetting' to reinstate those limits and thus allow this to happen?

In the article I posted..everyone read that, right?...It's clear that the State Department is doing this because the funding is available and that they must have the blessing of the Secretary of State--who's their boss.

Surely Trump is aware..as he is the SecStates boss.

As far as I can see...the Democrats have no piece of this.

Trump has tried to put a pause on this migration but the Left has blocked him at every attempt so if something happens the blood will be on their hands but of course they will deflect and blame Trump that his "anti muslim" rhetoric caused the scum to pull that trigger, plant that bomb, or drive that truck over people.

Trump can't win and I fear that we will all lose.
I think you completely missed the point. This is not about the 'left". This is about TRUMP'S STATE DEPARTMENT of which he is the boss - apparently allowing this to happen along with the REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED CONGRESS.

Would one conservative, for ONCE, accept responsibility for their own actions?

I have a sneaky feeling that neither Trump nor Tillerson has a clue.

Really? Please do explain how the left currently controls the State Department?

I hope they are all settled in your neighborhood, since you like this news so much.

Hello? Travel Ban blocked by an out of control Federal Court acting unconstitutionally and without authority.

The Courts should be ignored. They have no power to enforce their unconstitutional opinions, which don't have the force of law. They are opinions only.

The left and the Democrats are in control of nothing. This is the GOP.
They are in control now...they have the Presidency, the Senate, Congress, Supreme Court...
This is Trump's State Department.
Whatever happens now is on them.
