Democrat legislators have drafted a bill to import at least 50,000 “climate refugees” per year despite the damaging impact on Americans’ wages and rents.
“America will continue to stand tall as a safe haven for immigrants,” declared Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), who was born in Puerto Rico and chairs the House Committee on Small Business. She said:
Despite this Administration’s efforts to strip the world’s most vulnerable populations of refuge … this legislation will not only reaffirm our nation’s longstanding role as a home to those fleeing conflict and disasters, but it will also update it to reflect changes to our world brought on by a changing climate.
The bill is titled the “Climate Displaced Persons Act,” and it offers green cards to “climate-displaced persons … [who] are individuals who have been forcibly displaced by climate change or climate-induced disruptions, such as sea-level rise, glacial outburst floods, desertification or fires … there could be as many as 200 million CDPs by 2050 globally,” said a statement from Velázquez‘s office.
“The new program would admit a minimum of 50,000 CDPs, beginning with Fiscal Year 2020, allowing CDPs to access resettlement opportunities,” the statement said.
But the progressive advocates are hoping to welcome many extra migrants into Americans’ homeland, which progressives have tried to relabel as a “Nation of Immigrants”:
Since 2008, catastrophic weather has displaced an average of 24 million people per year, according to data from the Swiss-based nonprofit Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. That number could climb to anywhere from 140 million to 300 million to 1 billion by 2050. The World Bank estimated last year that climate change effects in just three regions ― sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America ― could force 143 million people to flee by the middle of the century.

That will vastly improve the country, and the environment
How will they determine a climate refugee? The islands that were supposed to have sunk are still there.
Insane and evil.
Listen, if our government is going to be a bunch of malignant villains, can we just not have government?
I don’t really like feeling like I am holding of the Nazi Horde with every election.
Climate refugees is code for muslims.
Well, realistically we take in that many Mexicans every two weeks already. What’s a few more? /s
In addition to expelling Chinese spies college students.
Then we can start on H1-Bs.
They need new voters desperately.
If Climate Change is destroying the whole planet, what makes the US a safer haven for climate refugees ?
Oh.
Hell
No
No way! Send them all home. Maybe write new legislation that revokes all previous visas from one year ago or more. Make any future ones valid for 12 months only, non-renewable, and the people not eligible for any other visa or means to stay in the US.
Trump must have sealed off a lot of the border, so now the Democrats are looking for a new source of migrants.
One BILLION? Sure, let them all into what’s left of the United States.
...or uneducated, or primitive, or non-white, or all of the above.
How much will you bet that they’ll all be from Muslim terror-supporting countries?
This is just anti-white racism. The hatred runs deep in some human beings.
We, the citizens of the USA, are NOT responsible for all conflicts in the world. We are NOT responsible for people being displaced by natural disasters. We are NOT required to commit national suicide just because some people hate us - particularly if those people are motivated by racism.
We can count on Romney and the Bushes co-signing this.
Let’s start stripping the citizenship of, and deporting, liberals.
