Trump Throws His Supporters Under the Bus

The
right wingers spent two days arguing that Trump had no choice in the
matter because Clinton signed ''The Flores Act.'' -- They lied of
course.

Now, Trump is pulling the RUG out from under them by
promising to sign an executive order to change his policy --- you know
-- the one the LYING LIARS said he couldn't change because Clinton
signed the Flores Act.

How will they explain this away?

Wait, I know how they'll do it.

They'll LIE again.

Dino Denies They're Refugees

There is a reason Dino is regarded as a moron.

Illegal immigrants aren't refugees

UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees

Text of the 1951 Convention

Relating to the Status of Refugees



Text of the 1967 Protocol

Relating to the Status of Refugees



Resolution 2198 (XXI) adopted by the

United Nations General Assembly



Office of the

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

"The Convention further stipulates that, subject to specific exceptions, refugees should not be penalized for their illegal entry or stay. This recognizes that the seeking of asylum can require refugees to breach immigration rules.prohibited penalties might include being charged with immigration or criminal offences relating to the seeking of asylum, or being arbitrarily detained purely on the basis of seeking asylum. Importantly, the Convention contains various safeguards against the expulsion of refugees. The principle of nonrefoulement is so fundamental that no reservations or derogations may be made to it. It provides that no one shall expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee against his or her will, in any manner whatsoever, to a territory where he or she fears threats to life or freedom." (pg 3)

"The Convention does not however apply to all persons who might otherwise satisfy the definition of a refugee in Article 1. In particular, the Convention does not apply to those for whom there are serious reasons for considering that they have committed war crimes or crimes against humanity, serious non-political crimes, or are guilty of acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations." (pg 4)

"Passed unanimously by the Senate in late 1979 and signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in early 1980, the Refugee Act of 1980 amended the earlier Immigration and Nationality Act and the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act. It raised the annual ceiling for refugees from 17,400 to 50,000, created a process for reviewing and adjusting the refugee ceiling to meet emergencies, and required annual consultation between Congress and the President.



"The Act also changed the definition of “refugee” to a person with a “well-founded fear of persecution,” a standard established by United Nations conventions and protocols. It also funded a new Office of U.S. Coordinator for Refugee Affairs and an Office of Refugee Resettlement and built on already existing public-private partnerships that helped refugees settle and adjust to life in their new country."

You right wingers REALLY should stop listening to Alex Jones.

Decent people want the US to honor our UN agreements; then we have Trump supporters who don't give a damn about law, treaties, agreements, protocols, and conventions.
