By The New York Times published an article written by Angelina Jolie criticizing Donald Trump’s immigration ban.
The Oscar-winning actress maintained that every government has a right to protect its citizens and secure its borders, but that it should do so based on facts, not on fears. She wrote that the United States has one of the highest levels of screening for refugees who go through months of interviews and security checks conducted by various U.S. government agencies before being allowed to step on American soil.
This staggering statistic illustrates that the Trump administration, in collaboration with conservative media, are strategically overestimating the number of refugees in America to promote white nationalist and xenophobic policies.
Jolie wrote that less than one percent of the 65 million refugees and displaced people are resettled in the United States. This staggering statistic illustrates that the Trump administration, in collaboration with conservative media, are strategically overestimating the number of refugees in America to promote white nationalist and xenophobic policies.
The Special Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees alluded to a famous quote by Ronald Reagan, in which he proclaimed, “America is committed to the world because so much of the world is inside America.” Jolie expounded on that articulate statement, writing, “If we divide people beyond our borders, we divide ourselves.”
Donald Trump’s immigration ban is temporarily halted as it navigates through the courts in a legal battle that questions the constitutionality of the controversial executive order.
Thank you for posting this – I would not have seen this Jolie information through regular news. Much appreciation. #teamsuper #girllove
