We need to be careful about getting this right. that we have the support of the American people. and that Congress in a really frustrating time in American politics takes the time and energy to craft effective action. Lets try and get on the same page rather than a rapid response. which history shows is not necessarily the right response. Decidedly. turning our back on Syrian refugees is unAmerican. unpatriotic. and morally weak. Turning our back on an entire population due to broadbrush characterizations of those who practice a certain faith goes against our core values as a country. I think America is better than that. Seeking compassion for Syrian refugees can be done securely. The facts make that clear. A failure to do so would put us on the wrong side of history.
