The U.S. government has granted waivers to let 872 refugees into the country this week, despite President Donald Trump's executive order on Friday temporarily banning entry of refugees from any country, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document seen by Reuters.
A Homeland Security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the waivers, noting that the refugees were considered "in transit" and had already been cleared for resettlement before the ban took effect.
Refugees preparing for resettlement typically have severed personal ties and relinquished their possessions, leaving them particularly vulnerable if their plans to depart are suddenly canceled.
(g) Notwithstanding a suspension pursuant to subsection (c) of this section or pursuant to a Presidential proclamation described in subsection (e) of this section, the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security may, on a case-by-case basis, and when in the national interest, issue visas or other immigration benefits to nationals of countries for which visas and benefits are otherwise blocked.

We somehow need to move on past the visa thing anyway and get answers to questions like......How do these refuges support themselves financially in transit and transition when they get here? In short are these moves costing the american tax payer anything?
Remember that ALL of us are descended from immigrants and revolutionists'
Problem 1.
Not all of us were.
Problem 2.
Those immigrants 'stole' the land from the natives. Then formed their own country, and the natives were forced to live in 'fema' camps to this very day.
U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed by telephone that his administration will honour a refugee resettlement deal with staunch ally Australia, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Monday.
The previous U.S administration had agreed to resettle a substantial number of the 1,200 asylum seekers, mainly from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, held in Australia's processing centres on remote Pacific islands in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.

""US TAXPAYERS will hand over around $20,000 to settle each “refugee” and “asylum seeker,” coming to America in terms of the Obama Middle East refugee policy, a new report from Negative Population Growth has said.
The “refugees” are immediately eligible for cash welfare, food stamps, housing, and medical aid to the value of $19,884 on each refugee the US takes in.""
The MAIN STREAM media doesn't give a damn about any of us. They didn't even mention the cost.

The study focused on the industry created to accept the $1.8 billion in federal support to help refugees settle and sign up for further cash awards from the taxpayer-funded program.
The refugee agencies get a small portion, or about $1,875 per refugee they help. The rest goes to the United Nations, which helps to determine eligible refugees, and state agencies.
more “refugees” come to America than to the rest of the world combined: 67 percent of UNHCR-referred refugees settled in the US in 2014.
once they have Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status, they can, for a period of two years after their arrival, petition to have immediate family members—spouses, children, and parents—join them as legal immigrants.
Once they have become naturalized US citizens, they can petition to have other family members—adult sons and daughters (married or unmarried), brothers and sisters—enter as legal immigrants.
