Trump doesn't want the USA to be a holding area for refugees.
It's like the hypocrisy contained in opening of the American Declaration of Independence; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." All men except their black slaves, of course. Women were notably absent too - as they were in Blighty.
Just like no obese person wants to die from a hear attack, no drug addict wants to die from a drug overdose. Yet drug addicts are put in prison while obese people are encouraged to improve their health, most often with zero effect. Isn't it time we changed our attitude to drug addicts to match that of obese people and treat it as something that requires help, rather than incarceration?
