I have received a large volume of calls from
constituents in opposition to the Muslim ban. It is unfortunate that
these calls are necessary, but I am glad the American people are paying
attention and are committed to holding this administration accountable. I want to add that hundreds of Syrian refugees have settled in New
Jersey. Many have settled in Jersey City, which is part of my district,
and I am proud to be their Member of Congress. These refugees have
escaped chaos at home and went through a rigorous screening process
before entering the United States. They are respectful of America's
values. The same cannot be said of this President.
