Even Trump administration officials are struggling to justify his budget proposal's harsh cuts to a program that helps child refugees from war-torn countries.

Donald Trump’s budget proposal is, by basically any measure, a nightmare.

........................
One of the most heartless things about this budget proposal, however, is its treatment of refugee children.

Trump wants to cut $32 billion from the State Department, including $780 million in funding for international programs. This would particularly impact UNICEF, the United Nations organization which focuses on aid for children and mothers in war-torn or developing nations.

UNICEF provides food, clothing, shelter, vaccines, medicine, and educational supplies to millions of displaced children around the world, and when possible, reunites them with their families.

According to UNICEF’s estimates, there are 24 million children endangered by conflicts in the Middle East alone, more than a third of them in Syria. As it is, they are unable to help all of these children, and Trump’s proposed cuts would further hamstring their mission............

1. There are so many things wrong with this that there will never be enough time to list them.

The first that come to mind are the UNICEF programs. All the right wing Jesus lover 'pro-life" "Christians" that hold all life precious and sacred seem to not give a shit about those that have been driven from their homes by war, drought, disease, natural disasters, etc. I don't hear Pat Robertson damning this information or doing HIS best to save all his precious children. You can bet the children's parent will remember the most powerful, the richest country ever turning their backs on the rest of the world. The parents will remember and they will teach their children how awful Americans are.

Of course there is the obvious reason that if these RWNJ's that are so pro-life think Benghazi was bad, they ain't seen nothing yet.
