In those days, as now, we have welcomed
people from distant shores and said: Come be Americans. Our President is trampling on that, to be honest with you. The idea
that immigrants are preponderantly criminals and preponderantly
terrorists is absurd. They are the future of America. In my State of
New York, 25 percent of the people are foreign born, probably as high
as 40 percent if you are either foreign born or had a parent foreign
born. They are great New Yorkers. I was with a Syrian refugee this week. He
and his wife and his children had just come. His parents were American
citizens.
