“I am disappointed by this Executive Order because it goes
against everything this country stands for.
I can think of few things more un-American than discriminating against
people seeking refuge on our shores because of their religion. This action betrays who we are as a country.
Keeping the American people safe from threats from abroad is very important to
me but targeting an entire religion is completely misguided and irresponsible.
This order dishonors our values and has caused shockwaves of
confusion throughout our nation. America
is the land of opportunity regardless of age, race, class and religion. I will
continue to work for smart action to protect our borders while protecting religious
freedom and defending our American values.”
