LINK Texas is first state to reject new refugees under Trump order - The Washington Post

Even Texas politicians are against this. It was the governor's decision.

'“Regardless of where someone is from, who they are, or what they believe, there is a home for them in Houston,” the city’s mayor, Sylvester Turner ( D), said in a statement. “Our welcoming spirit has led to our city becoming the national leader in refugee resettlement. We remember Exodus 22:21, ‘Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner.’ ”

'But in announcing his executive order, Trump said he was empowering local governments to refuse something that has for years has been imposed on them. At an October rally in Minneapolis, Trump boasted of the change, telling the crowd, “No other president would be doing that.”'

The thing is, Trump and his partisans think that's a good thing, whereas everyone else recognize it's one of the things that make him possibly the worst president in American history.

It's hard to pick a WORST president....I used to think W. would never be topped, for the Iraq War and other outrages.
Now this.

Have you considered James Buchanan?

He supported the Dred Scott decision and joined with Southern leaders in attempting to admit Kansas to the Union as a slave state under the Lecompton Constitution. In the process, he angered Republicans and alienated many Northern Democrats, bringing the Civil War closer. After Lincoln's election and Southern secession, he failed to defend Union military possessions as it would "anger the South" (as if they weren't already getting on a war footing) and allowed tons of Union ordnance to be outright stolen and delivered into Southern hands. It's hard to think of a more egregious violation of the oath to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, whichever you conceive the Confederacy to have been.

Buchanan's sympathies for the South led him to exacerbate the sectional conflicts when instead he could have taken a leadership role in trying to resolve them.

Trump, at least thus far, hasn't brought on a civil war. But the day is young.
