CAIR: Refusing Refugee Admissions Is Equivalent to Slavery

Audio By Carbonatix

The executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Wednesday that refusing to accept Muslim refugees is the moral equivalent of slavery.

Responding to President Trump’s executive orders to limit refugee entry from several Muslim-majority countries, block federal funds from sanctuary cities and start construction of a wall on America’s southern border, Nihad Awad, called the proposed border wall a “multi-billion dollar monument to racism.”

The Daily Caller reports CAIR’s director argued that under international law refugees have “rights beyond what normal immigrants have.”

Awad equated refusing refugee entry to former American policies of slavery and women not being able to vote.

He said those actions were legal but “wrong.”
