I would ask the Members to imagine just for a moment that you are a 19yearold young man who is serving his country in a time of war abroad. and receive a letter that says your parents have just been picked up under an Executive order. and they are currently being imprisoned in a camp somewhere in the United States of America. and you ask why. You are told. because a nation thousands of miles away declared war on our country. and because you happen to be remotely descended to that nation. we are going punish your parents. Certainly each Member would say that is not fair. What about their constitutional rights? There is probably not a single Member of Congress that has not had the opportunity to address a group of immigrants who. because of the ceremony that they go through. are told the significance of becoming U.S. citizens.
