We will stand for our values, for American
values, for human values. We will not be divided by hate and fear. Fifteen months ago, I traveled to the Greek island of Lesbos. This is
the first stop for many Syrian refugees as they flee from the
terrorists of ISIS. That was where I saw the shoddy, paper-thin river
rafts that people cram onto, with nothing more than a hope and a prayer
that they will make it across a choppy sea. I saw the little plastic
pool floaties that people put on small children, hoping it would be
enough to save them if the raft went down.
