Donald Trump: President Hostility and Muslim Immigrants

donald trump: For the past several months, Rutland has been getting ready to receive 100 mostly Syrian refugees beginning early next year, according to CTV. But with Donald Trump taking office in late January, Rutland plans and those of other U.S. cities that have agreed to take in people fleeing the civil war have been thrown into question, given the incoming president hostility to Muslim immigrants. High school students are helping collect furniture and housewares for them, and employers have inquired about giving them jobs. I am not even going to hazard a guess about the fate of the program, said Mayor Christopher Louras, who invited the newcomers in the hope they can help revitalize this shrinking, post-industrial, heroin-plagued city of 15,800. During the campaign, Trump proposed a ban on Muslims entering the country and called for a moratorium on accepting Syrian refugees for fear of terrorists slipping through. In the fiscal year that just ended, the Obama administration screened and admitted nearly 12,600 Syrian refugees, who were resettled in cities and towns across the U.S. Thousands more are scheduled to arrive in the coming year.
