Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner in the Republican presidential primary, has once again vowed to halt all refugee resettlement in the United States, this time in response to the conflict in Israel following terrorist attacks by Hamas.

“A vote for crooked Joe is a vote to turn the United States into a hotbed for jihadists and make our cities resemble the Gaza Strip,” Trump told voters in Derry, New Hampshire.
“A vote for President Trump is a vote to keep radical Islamic terrorists and their supporters out of our country.” Trump stated that he plans to reinstate a travel ban for countries afflicted by terrorism and temporarily halt all refugee resettlement to the U.S.
He emphasized, “If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country, and you will not be admitted.”

Trump’s stance to completely stop refugee resettlement is notable, as other GOP presidential primary candidates have expressed opposition to importing Palestinians from Gaza to the U.S. but have not commented on the federal government’s broader resettlement program.
Additionally, refugee resettlement often leads to “chain migration” in the U.S., as refugees obtain green cards and, eventually, U.S. citizenship, allowing them to sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives for green cards. Approximately seven in ten legal immigrants enter the U.S. through chain migration each year.
In 2021 and 2022, the Biden administration resettled a significant number of refugees from Arab nations, many of whom may sympathize with Hamas, in the U.S.
For instance, nearly 9,500 nationals from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Syria, and Sudan were resettled in the previous two fiscal years. Data for Fiscal Year 2023 is not available yet.
Over the last two decades, almost one million refugees have been resettled in the country, which is more than double the population of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and equivalent to adding the population of Pensacola, Florida, annually.
Research suggests that refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, with each refugee costing taxpayers about $133,000 over their lifetime.
Within five years, an estimated 16 percent of all admitted refugees will require housing assistance funded by taxpayers.
