When the poem beneath the Statute of Liberty said give me your tired. give me your poor. it didnt say come to our country and we will put you on welfare. In those days you came for opportunity. Many Christian churches have supported refugees. My church has supported refugees coming here. That is charity. But when you put them on welfare. that is not charity. We borrow $1 million a minute. We dont have enough money to do this. it is a threat to our national security. My amendment would end the housing assistance for refugees in order to send a message to the President: The people have spoken. We are unhappy with your program. If you will not listen to the American people. we will take the money from the purse.
