Ivanka Trump on Wednesday said that admitting Syrian refugees to the United States “has to be part of the discussion,” though her father has signed two executive orders blocking travelers from Syria and temporarily suspending admission of refugees.
“I think there is a global humanitarian crisis that’s happening, and we have to come together and we have to solve it,” Trump said told NBC News.
“Would that include opening the borders to Syrian refugees in the U.S.?” NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked.
“That has to be part of the discussion, but that’s not going to be enough in and of itself,” Trump replied.
Trump’s remarks were a departure from her father’s enacted policy thus far, which has emphasized — as he said in December 2015 — “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
In January, President Donald Trump issued an executive order banning travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries, including Syria, from entering the United States. A judge blocked that order, which indefinitely banned Syrian refugees from entering the country, in February.
The President issued a revised order a month later which removed Iraq from the list of countries affected and temporarily suspended admission of all refugees to the United States. A federal judge blocked that order in March hours before it was due to take effect.
Well, since each admitted refugee needs the U.S. to provide them a new basic wardrobe from the Ivanka Trump style lines, sure, why not let them in? They’ll all look moderately trendy and can attend the best parties without drawing too much scorn and derision.
She’s like Mother Teresa in $3K stilettos…
This woman is her despicable father’s accomplice. Anything like this coming from her is bs and misdirection guided by Donald himself.
Well, dearie, it has been part of the discussion. For quite some time, actually.
And each time that overweight, self-centered, marginally literate ape that is your father has said “no” and accused the refugees of vile things. And done everything he could to prevent us giving them asylum.
So, go talk to your fat pig of a sperm-donor about this!!!
ETA: somewhat OT, but good article at HuffPo about what Drumpfie has done for women in his first 100 days.
Spoiler alert: none of it’s good.
Since when does the Secretary of Fashion weigh in on foreign relations? She better stop stepping on Tillerson’s toes…
