Ed Donnell criticizes ending of wet feet, dry feet policy
January 13, 2017

One day after Barack Obama announced the immediate cessation of the wet feet, dry feet policy, President-elect Ed Donnell has announced his opposition to the measure, calling it a "inhuman and unnecessary" and a "giveaway to the Communists. Donnell also vowed to restore the policy upon taking office.

"This decision is inhuman and unnecessary, plus a giveaway to the Communists. Furthermore, closing America's doors from those fleeing Communist tyranny in our backyard is a violation of America's values, namely as a land of hope for the oppressed worldwide. The wet feet, dry feet policy will be restored under my Administration"
