"[Trump administration] proposals, some of which already have gone into effect, would transform a decades-old program aimed at helping the world's most desperate people into one that conforms to Mr. Trump's vision of immigrationwhich is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted while keeping the vast majority of other people out. The plans were presented to the White House in April and July."
"Mr. Trump had suspended refugee admissions on his first day in office and solicited the proposals about how and whether the administration should continue the program. To be fair, the administration seems to be scouring the world for swell people to welcome in. The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for populist' political parties."
The Trump administration proposed overhauling the U.S. refugee resettlement system to prioritize mostly white people and reduce overall admissions. State and Homeland Security officials presented plans in April and July after a presidential directive to study refugee resettlement. President Trump suspended refugee admissions on his first day in office and solicited proposals on whether and how to continue the program. Proposals recommend prioritizing Europeans targeted for online expression opposing migration or supporting populist parties and reference the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The administration enacted measures including sharp cuts to refugee admissions and priority status for Afrikaners.
