Lesson four:<\/strong>\u00a0 Refugee admissions to the U.S. should be a last resort.\u00a0 As FAIR has observed for over 25 years, it is both better policy and more economical to house refugees and displaced persons near the site of the conflict for eventual repatriation.\u00a0 Tens of millions seek to move to the West worldwide.\u00a0 They cannot be accommodated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAliens entering temporarily for humanitarian purposes face no realistic prospect of repatriation or removal. \u00a0An entire immigration court system was developed in the late 1980s, early 1990s with the objective of creating an impartial fact-finder on the question of deportability.\u00a0 The Federal Government will never<\/i> revoke the temporary protection. Endless delay tactics make it possible for aliens to meld into society and establish \u201cequities\u201d (including citizen offspring). This is a betrayal of the nation\u2019s humanitarian impulses.<\/p>\n
Cumbersome procedural layers for review in deportation proceedings were added by advocates who oppose deportation on principle. At FAIR we know who pushed this and why. But when Donald Trump talks wistfully about 1954, America needs to know that advocates opposing removal have worked for years to make summary removal of most aliens legally cumbersome and nearly impossible.\u00a0 This was intentional, not by chance.<\/p>\n
The nation is increasingly vulnerable to terrorist attack from within. The latest terror attacks in Paris, Lebanon and over the Sinai illustrate what must be accepted:\u00a0 A dulling orthodoxy within certain Muslim communities has degenerated a fanatical strain that promises an epicurean paradise for mass murder on earth.\u00a0 The phenomenon cannot be ignored any longer by the West.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump\u2019s suggestion of accelerated deportation should serve as a call to action: Congress must work with the next president to restore the nimble deportation and exclusion procedures that will assure both the safety of the nation and its future national interests.\u00a0 Not one more American should die at the hands of a careless, ineffective immigration scheme.
