Trump Admin Sweeps Its Own Study Under The Rug

ANOTHER DENIAL THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS
PUTTING INTO PLAY IS DENIAL ABOUT THE POSITIVE IMPACT
OF REFUGEES IN THIS COUNTRY.
AND AS TRUMP IS AT THE UNGA AND HE IS TALKING TO THESE
COUNTRIES, REFUGEES AND THE TREATMENT OF REFUGEES IS A
SUBJECT THAT ALWAYS COMES UP.
HE'S GOING TO BE THERE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
HE'S GOING TO GET AN EARFULL FROM ALL OF THESE OTHER LEADERS
ABOUT THE WAY THAT AMERICANS TREAT REFUGEES, BUT THERE'S A
STUDY AND I WANT TO BRING THIS UP, THAT FOUND:
THAT'S NOT 269 DOLLARS.
THAT'S $269 BILLION.
$63 BILLION IS EXACTLY THE NUMBER THAT DONALD TRUMP ASKED
FOR TO GO INTO AFGHANISTAN OR THE SENATE VOTED FOR TO
CONTINUE WARS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAN AND IRAQ.
THAT'S HOW MUCH THE REFUGEES ARE CREATING IN THIS COUNTRY,
ALTHOUGH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ARE
REJECTING THOSE NUMBERS SAYING THERE'S A NET EFFECT OF THAT.
SO THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY ARE A DRAIN ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
ON THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.
THE FACTS PROVE OTHERWISE.
THEY DO BECAUSE SINCE THEY ARE REFUGEES, THEY ARE MORE
LIKELY TO TAKE JOBS THAT AVERAGE AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO
TAKE AND I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE IN DENIAL ABOUT THAT, BUT
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS.
THEY DO PAY STATE, FEDERAL TAXES, SALES TAXES IF THEY
ARE IN A STATE THAT HAS THEM.
THEY DO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ECONOMY AND IT'S A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT AND SO IF THE ARGUMENT IS, NO, THEY ARE
GOING TO DRAIN OUR RESOURCES, THAT IS JUST A FLAT OUT LIE
AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO HIDE THE STUDY.
THEY TRIED TO COMPLETELY PRETEND LIKE IT DID NOT EXIST AND
IT REMINDED ME OF WHAT NIXON DID WITH THE SHAFER REPORT BACK
WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT.
DURING THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION, HE REALLY WANTED TO RAMP UP
THE WAR ON DRUGS AND GO AFTER PEOPLE WHO WERE USING
MARIJUANA AND SO HE COMMISSIONED A STUDY THAT WAS HEADED BY
GOVERNOR RAYMOND SHAFER AT THE TIME.
RAYMOND SHAFER GOES IN, HAS HIS COMMISSION.
THEY DO THE STUDY AND FIND OUT MARIJUANA IS ACTUALLY NOT A
PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING WORTH WASTING RESOURCES ON AND ADDING TO
THIS WAR ON DRUGS AND NIXON DID NOT LIKE THE RESULTS BECAUSE
HE WANTED TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE, RIGHT?
HE WANTED TO GO AFTER MEXICANS WHO WERE CAUGHT WITH POT SO HE'S
LIKE SHAFER REPORT, THAT'S GREAT.
LET'S MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES.
WHAT TRUMP IS DOING WITH THIS INFORMATION FROM THIS STUDY
REMINDS ME A LOT OF WHAT NIXON DID AND IN THIS CASE, YOU
ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES.
THESE ARE PEOPLE ñ WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THEM AS
NUMBERS, WE'RE THINKING ABOUT, WHAT'S IN IT FOR US?
KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE PEOPLE'S LIVES THAT WE ARE MESSING WITH.
WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT REFUGEES AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE NEGATIVE
AFFECT, THEY ALSO TALK ABOUT THIS LOOMING THREAT OF
TERRORISM, THAT THERE ARE FOLKS RUSHING TO THE
BORDERS, BUT YOU HAVE A NET POSITIVE HERE THAT YOU COULD
APPLY TO SOME KIND OF BETTERMENTS OF YOUR SCREENING
DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION PROCEDURES THAT YOU HAVE PUT IN
PLACE TO VET WHOSE COMING INTO THE COUNTRY SO NOT ONLY ARE
REFUGEES A BOOMING BUSINESS, BUT THEY PAY FOR THE UPKEEP OF THAT
BUSINESS IF YOU ARE EARNESTLY MEANING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,
WHICH IS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE COMING IN ARE PROPERLY VETTED.
YOU HAVE A BUDGET FOR THAT AND IT IS BAKED INTO REFUGEES
THEMSELVES.
YOU'VE TURNED A PROFIT.
ISN'T THAT ALL YOU EVER WANT TO DO?
THEY TURNED A $63 BILLION PROFIT.
YOU WOULD THINK THE REFUGEE BUSINESS WOULD BE SOMETHING
THAT WOULD BE JUMPING ON BECAUSE OF THAT ALONE AND LISTEN,
THESE STORIES ARE CONNECTED.
YOU HAVE A REPORT FROM SCIENTISTS SAYING WHAT IS GOING
ON
WITH THE CLIMATE AND IT IS BEING TOSSED ASIDE BY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
YOU HAVE A REPORT SAYING THAT REFUGEES CREATE $63
BILLION IN PROFIT FOR THIS COUNTRY AND THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION SAYING, THAT IS NOT TRUE.
