Trump Admin to Re-Vet Biden Refugees, Citing 'Unspeakable Cruelty'
The Trump administration, never one to let a bureaucratic process go un-tortured, intends to re-vet refugees already admitted under the Biden administration. The Independent, echoing critics, calls it 'unspeakably cruel.' One might wonder if the concern for unspeakability applies equally to the 28,000+ children killed in Gaza since October 7th, a casualty count largely ignored by the same outlets
that prioritize manufactured outrage over immigration policy. This isn't about security; it's about political theater, designed to delegitimize any attempt at humanitarianism while deflecting from the real 'cruelty' of a two-party system that manages refugee crises through endless war, then blames the victims. The US refugee program, gutted under Trump and barely resuscitated by Biden, remains a
convenient punching bag, while bipartisan consensus ensures military aid flows freely to those actively creating new refugees. How many times will we see 'unspeakable cruelty' used to describe border policy, but not the bombs dropped overseas?
