C-12-1 Trump Notes 'dangerous' Uptick in Refugees Since Courts Ruled Against Travel Ban
President Trump tweeted on Saturday supporting and defending national security initiatives, saying refugees from 'dangerous' countries are streaming into the U.S under the courts' halt on the travel ban, suggesting that he can undercut the multi-billion dollar cost to build his proclaimed wall. "I am reading that the great WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I have not gotten involved in the design or negotiations yet. When I do, Just like with the F-35 FighterJet or the Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!", said Trump in a tweet. The Department of Homeland Security has said that the wall will take an estimated $21.6 billion and 3 1/2 years to complete. As for the immigration ban halt, Trump tweeted earlier this week, "Our legal system is broken! 77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail form seven suspect countries. SO DANGEROUS!" The updated numbers from the State Department show the % closer to 72% for the week of February 3-11 with 402 from Syria, 340 from Iraq, 115 from Iran, 155 from Somalia, 37 from Sudan, and 1,049 total.
