We called forth images of our Statue of Liberty and our proud history as a land of refuge for those fleeing persecution. I heard so many on this floor as well as from commentators in the news. Those who call now for us to slam our doors on even properly vetted Syrian and other refugees should remember that the people we will shut out are those very children who touched our hearts just weeks ago. Of course. we are horrified by what happened in Beirut and Paris. and we need an effective. thoughtful strategy for countering ISIS and other terrorist organizations. That is what we should be debating.
