Congress is once again compelled to do what the administration can and should be doing on its own. There is much work to be done by Congress and the next administration to fully resolve the terrible consequences these laws have brought about. I intend to continue working toward ensuring that our immigration and asylum laws are not used in a manner to harm those who come to the United States seeking its refuge and assistance. Our policies concerning asylum seekers have demonstrated Americas commitment to human rights. The material support and terrorism bars that have prevented so many from our protection are a blemish on this legacy.
