TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday, Jan. 27 making changes to the policies regarding refugees.

The order calls for a four-month suspension to America's broader refugee program, allowing for the reviewing the vetting process.

The order also calls for a cut in the number of refugees allowed into the United States to 50,000. This is more than a 50 percent cut from the current number of 110,000.

The president said this is needed to combat radical Islamic terrorism at home.

"We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people," President Trump said.

Ibrahim Hesso, his wife, and two children made the decision to leave war-torn Aleppo and apply for refugee status in the United States.

The three-year process finally came to close as they stepped foot inside Tucson International Airport on Friday evening, just hours after President Trump signed the executive order.

"The problems started in Syria and it's really, really difficult to live there anymore," Hesso said. "It was difficult years. It was really, really difficult, but now we are here safe. We are thinking about a better life, a better future for our kids."

Hesso said his brothers applied for refugee status at the same time as he did but their applications have not been processed.

Now with the executive order, the future remains unclear.

"It's hard on them. It's hard on people that work with them to see the worry on their faces when we know we're going to have months without any arrivals," said Barbara Eiswerth, the executive director of the Iskashitaa Refugee Network.

This group, along with other organizations and agencies help the 1,200 refugees who arrive in Tucson every year.

Eiswerth said the changes will also leave the funding for agencies up in the air..

"Taking a temporary stop on them is going to be very challenging for the agencies that.. that is their sole work is to welcome refugees from these countries," Eiswerth said.

I'm all broken up over this.
Perhaps the do-gooder welcome committee should hop on the return flight.

Germany is begging for em it isn't like they're out of place to lay low waiting for the opportunity to strap plastique around their torsos...

The timing is purely coincidental, I'm certain.

They're fatties! There I said it!

they better un-muslim pretty quick. i suggest getting a cross necklace and some rosary beads. allah ain't welcome in trump land.

Despite my personal opinions regarding this, I will give them credit for following the legal process and arriving here lawfully. I hope they will become contributors rather than parasites.

Sound thinking,Bobmar.

They came here long after the election. They knew that by the time they got here, they'd no longer be welcome or wanted.
Why not try Saudi Arabia or some other Muslim country? Oh, yeah, THEY WONT TAKE THEM EITHER.

Ibrahim chose to run instead of fight? What a fine fellow.

Yessir, ....
I stand in absolute dumbfounded awe, when considering the quality and depth of professional ethic and skill that the Clinton / Kerry State Department will have applied to "vetting" this fellow.
Hell, give him four years and he'll probably win a seat on Tucson's city council.

Note how these "refugees aren'y going to NYC like millions have over the past 200 years. They are going to Red States. Dilute the vote.

So they are refugees because "it's really, really difficult to live there" not because their lives are in danger like Christians in those Muslim countries who may lose their heads due to their religion. I guess two "reallys" suffice to make one a refugee.

They look primed and ready to suck the system dry.

If our government just quick paying refugees, much of this would stop.

Feed them and send them home.

from 1975 to 1984 my wife worked with a gal who's sister married a Iranian. this jerk imported his elderly parents via some humanitarian clause, him being the spouse of an US citizen. The parents got Social Security even though they had never worked a day in the US. On the walls of their living room were large pictures of the Iotoilet Komeanie! they steadfastly refused to learn English and turned their backs to any infidel that came into the house.
eventually the Jerk Ahmed took to beating the american wife for fun and she divorced him. as far as i know he and his parents lived happily ever after in Salem Oregon on our dime.

Let the family settle here in the interim. Conscript the males, train them to fight. Send them to Syria to win their country back. Provide all the assistance they need. Return the families when peace is secured.
