'Refugees' my ass... The muzzy caliphate expansion continues unabated.
So who thinks Trump won't capitulate? It most definetly isn't me.
Refugee industry wants Trump to admit 75,000 refugees this fiscal year, and another 75,000 in FY18

The President’s budget for next year is out, but I have to be completely honest with you, going through these numbers is not my thing!
And, consider that it is Congress that will in reality set the agenda and budget for refugee admissions by how much money they are sending to the program and ultimately out to the federal resettlement contractors.
In searching around this morning, I’ve found several indicators of what Trump might do, what he has done, what the budget might dictate, and how the contractors are reacting, and I will leave it to you (who have more patience to wade through numbers than I) to analyze the numbers.
Just so you know, as of today (5/24/2017), note (from Wrapsnet) that Trump is now at 45,172 admitted refugees for this fiscal year (FY2017 ends on September 30th). (Average refugee admissions for the last ten years is around in the low 60,000s.)
Resettlement contractors happy with FY17 budget!
I missed this: The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society was very happy with the Continuing Budget for the present fiscal year.

Trump’s Budget Request Supports 50,000 Refugees
Alex Pfeiffer, 9:13 PM 05/23/2017
The White House’s proposed budget for 2018 designates billions of dollars for refugee assistance and supports the resettlement of 50,000 new refugees.
The budget, “A New Foundation For American Greatness,” was unveiled Monday and includes significant spending cuts to entitlements. Congressional Republicans applauded it as a step in the right direction.
However, it presents issues for the hardline immigration stance the president campaigned on. The budget provides a fraction of the estimated funds needed to build a wall on the Mexican border and includes billions of dollars for refugee programs.
The budget proposal calls for $2.7 billion to be spent on the State Department’s Migration and Refugee Assistance program, which goes towards assistance overseas and admissions in the U.S. This is down from $3.3 billion in fiscal year 2017. The proposed budget would give $410 million towards refugee admissions in the U.S.
The Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum, refugee, and international operations budget would also get a $14 million increase from the previous budget.
