Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, there is a theme that is beginning to
define this new administration: incompetence leading to chaos. Over the
weekend, the hastily constructed Executive order on immigration and
refugees caused chaos in airports across America and across the world. Folks were caught in detention at airports for up to 12 hours, young
children separated from their mothers, husbands from their wives,
elderly travelers denied medical care, green card holders and legal
residents being denied the right to see an attorney. Some folks were
pressured into signing away their permanent legal status. There were
scenes of utter havoc.
