He would rather focus on
falsehoods. But the President's attacks on our democracy aren't restricted to
alternative facts. This weekend we witnessed the erosion of another
American value: our proud tradition as a refuge for immigrants of every
religion. The President issued an executive order banning immigrants
and refugees from the United States on the basis of religion. This outrageous executive order to shut people out from several
Muslim nations runs counter to our fundamental values that we cherish
as Americans. It is morally reprehensible and will only make the United
States less safe. The order has done nothing but create chaos and fear
among refugees and immigrants who have been admitted or have been
approved to come to the United States. This Nation is, has been, and always will be a nation of immigrants
and refugees. This is who we are. We don't turn our back to those in
need.
