Now my kids are
asking me if I am a terrorist.'' That general, Talib al-Kenani, has
been coming here for over a decade meeting with senior U.S. military
leaders at CENTCOM, but now he is banned from entering the country. This policy is dangerous, counterproductive, and extremely
unfortunate. It is important to note, Mr. Speaker, that of the seven countries
included in this ban--hear me, my colleagues--of the seven countries
included in this ban, no refugee or immigrant from any of those nations
has committed a terrorist act in the United States. The President of the United States has a responsibility--a sacred and
public trust--to do everything in his power to protect our Nation. We
have that same responsibility.
