The Trump administration claims refugees pose unacceptable risk. They don’t understand America’s history—or our present.

But America's communities are leading and showing the way. #WorldRefugeeDay vox.com/policy-and-pol…
When Trump announced his Muslim ban, @FriendsORefugees saw a 400% increase in the number of volunteer applications to help refugees resettle in America. #WorldRefugeeDay

"Last year, the federal government, working with the IRC resettled 213 refugees in Tallahassee. The vast majority — 168 — came from the Congo. Another 35 came from Syria, with the rest hailing from Somalia, Afghanistan and Eritrea.” #WorldRefugeeDay tallahassee.com/story/news/201…
“My goal with Clarkston is to showcase it,” [the Mayor] explained. “I didn’t make this place a compassionate community – yes, we enshrined it in an official way, but it was a compassionate and welcoming community long before I got here.” #WorldRefugeeDay theguardian.com/us-news/2017/m…
"At Sullivan High School, where hijabs are as common as high-tops, a new mission has meant a second chance—both for the Rogers Park school and its swelling ranks of immigrant students.” #WorldRefugeeDay chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazi…
“Over the past decade, about 21,000 refugees have resettled in southeastern Michigan, contributing last year between $230 million and $295 million to the economy.” #WorldRefugeeDay freep.com/story/news/201…

Time for a Twitter Q&A! @nedprice is here to answer your questions. Tweet them now with the hashtag #AskNatSec.
@nedprice In fact there is. We learned last week the WH blocked bipartisan legislation with strong bipartisan support that would take commonsense steps allowing state elections officials to best prepare for 2018 and 2020. Details: yahoo.com/news/white-hou… #AskNatSec
@nedprice Congress' oversight role is now more impt than ever. We need the Senate and especially the House intel committee to set aside partisan battles and focus on what the admin is asking our intel professionals to do. (1/2) #AskNatSec

We undertook a nationwide poll to test voter attitudes toward national security, and found that dissatisfaction with Trump has given Democrats the political advantage on key national security issues.

You can read a summary of the poll here: nationalsecurityaction.org/newsroom-blog/…
Tying national security issues to Trump gives Democrats new opportunities to go on offense: Trump's erraticism, the chaos he manufactures on the world stage, and the way he's muddied America's reputation in the world all resonate deeply with voters.
Voters trust Democrats over Trump on national security issues—and they prefer Congressional Democrats over Republicans when asked to consider their vote in terms of a Republican who would support Trump's national security approach versus a Democrat who would oppose it.

.@VP Pence is expected to tell Central American leaders they must do more to stem the tide of asylum seekers.

The Trump administration should review its own record, which has worsened the challenge.

wsj.com/articles/mike-…
Trump’s 2019 budget proposed slashing aid to Latin American countries between 30-45%, which would increase the number of refugees fleeing north.

Perhaps anticipating that, Trump also allocated funds for a 25% increase in the number of beds at immigration detention centers.
The Trump administration has perpetuated dangerous instability in our own neighborhood—and it threatens to further destabilize the region by withdrawing legal protections for immigrants from countries that have suffered natural disasters or humanitarian crises.

North Korea has been making vague commitments to denuclearize for decades. Today’s promises are even vaguer: despite historic concessions to the world's worst dictatorship, Trump got nothing new in terms of firm commitments, timelines, or concrete steps toward denuclearization.
There are only two questions to ask when evaluating the #TrumpKim summit:
1. Does Kim still have nuclear weapons?
2. Does Kim still have ballistic missiles?
Until the answer to both is no, the North Korea denuclearization process isn't complete.
Trump's praise for the world’s most brutal dictator stands in contrast to his treatment of one of our closest democratic friends just days before. Trump treats our allies like enemies and our adversaries with admiration and appeasement, further eroding America's moral leadership.

Trump’s meeting with a high-level North Korean envoy is a reminder that his erratic approach to North Korea has alternated dangerously between threatening war and begging for negotiation, making diplomacy, the only viable option, all the more difficult. latimes.com/politics/la-na…
Trump has acted like a politician in search of a political win, not a statesman acting in our national interest. He has offered the impression he’ll settle for a deal—any deal, however hollow—that allows him to claim victory.
Any progress is welcome, but a partial deal that fails to secure complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization is, at best, incomplete. There can be no victory lap at that point.
