Trump Finds More People Unfit for US Sanctuary
Donald Trump's campaign promise to expand the US entry ban to include Palestinians and Syrians isn't just about 'national security'—it's a textbook case of blaming the refugees for the wars the U.S. often fuels. The Financial Times reports this as a new policy, conveniently forgetting the decades of U.S. foreign policy that destabilized the very regions these populations now flee. One might
consider this 'expansion' not as new policy, but as a continuation of a selective welcome mat, where 'freedom and democracy' are only for those not currently bombed by American-made hardware. This isn't about protecting America; it's about perfecting the art of consequence management. The U.S. supports policies and military actions that create humanitarian crises, then turns around and punishes
the victims for seeking safety. It's a cruel game of musical chairs, where the music is the escalating drone strikes and the chairs are fewer and fewer for those displaced by the fallout.
