The department\u2019s quotas on refugee resettlement were largely the result of budget constraints imposed by Congress in a temporary spending measure passed last fall. But when Congress passed a spending bill this month that funded the government for the rest of the fiscal year, the law did not include any restrictions on refugee admissions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For people concerned about refugees’ suffering and human rights, it’s a positive step.\u00a0 For Trumpsters — if they notice [and it seems clear from the surreptitious rollout that the administration doesn’t want them to notice] — it could be seen as a betrayal of yet another campaign promise [a promise that the rest of us would be happy to see unfulfilled].<\/p>\n

Did Trump know that this move was coming? [Does he know anything at all?] Did Secretary of State Rex Tillerson know? [Does he care about anything except oil?] You have to wonder if this under-the-radar shift is further evidence that, in Trumpworld, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.<\/p>\n

But if one of those hands ends up doing the right thing, that’s perfectly okay by me.<\/p>\n
