Mr. SMITH of Texas. Madam Speaker, anyone who wants to protect
Americans from terrorist attacks should support President Trump's
immigration executive orders. Put aside the hysteria of his political opponents. Here are the
facts:
There will be a temporary halt in the admission to the U.S. of those
from seven designated countries, including Iraq, Iran, Libya, and
Syria. These are the exact same countries designated a security threat
by President Obama. Congress passed bipartisan legislation in 2015 designating these
countries as security risks in order to protect our homeland from
terrorism. In fact, the bill passed the House of Representatives by a
vote of 407-19.
