Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, President Trump's xenophobic executive order banning
Syrian refugees and suspending emigration from certain countries is
driven by fear. It demonstrates a callous indifference to human
suffering; it ignores the Constitution; and it will not only tarnish
our image abroad, but harm our national security. If we defeat the
previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to bring up my
good friend Representative Lofgren's bill to overturn and defund this
dangerous executive order. Let me be abundantly clear for people watching this debate.
