Refugees Cut While Endless Wars Fuel More
When The Hill covers Trump slashing refugee admissions to record lows, they're only showing half the picture. The numbers plummeted from 85,000 to just 15,000 under his administration ( The Hill ).

to close the door after lighting the match. It’s a neat trick: export chaos, then import zero responsibility. While politicians debate the moral imperative of helping a few thousand desperate souls, they approve billions in military aid—often to countries with abysmal human rights records—guaranteeing a fresh supply for future administrations to refuse. How many more 'historic' cuts will it take
before we question the 'historic' policies creating the problem?
