Let me say it wasn't just a matter of an uncomfortable situation. It
wasn't just a situation of people being inconvenienced. One of our
priorities when it comes to refugees, even from those seven countries
that President Trump noted, were those who were in desperate medical
conditions. So when the President said: I just wanted a pause--a pause
for these seven countries--let me ask what we think that pause means to
that 9-year-old Somali child in an Ethiopian refugee camp with a
congenital heart disease that can't be treated anymore in that camp and
who was finally going to get to come for medical care in the United
States. That pause by President Trump could be deadly. A 1-year-old
Sudanese boy with cancer.
