Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton points the finger at Congress for a broken immigration system and asks other states to step up and help. The United States has all but vacated its status as a beacon for refugees under the failed leadership of the Trump administration.  Over the last four years, refugee admissions have declined steadily from the 110,000 allowed in 2017. Under the Trump administration’s ceiling for 2021, the U.S. would accept a mere 15,000 refugees in the coming year about one-twentieth of 1% of the world’s refugees. Opening our nation to such a small number of refugees betrays our values as a nation of immigrants values epitomized by the famous poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty that says Give me your tired your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
