Perhaps most
concerning, what influence will Exxon have in matters relating to
Russia, where its long record of doing business at the expense of U.S.
national security interests seems to be right at home in the Trump
administration? We also need to hear what Rex Tillerson thinks about President
Trump's actions this weekend. On Friday, President Trump issued anti-
refugee and anti-immigrant Executive orders. I am outraged by the way
these orders were hastily thrown together late Friday. The President's
sloppy actions created chaos, disorder, and confusion at our airports,
and it left families, including permanent legal residents, wondering
what it meant for them. There have been media reports that relevant
agencies, including the State Department, were not consulted before
this order was signed by President Trump. President Trump says we need
extreme vetting of refugees fleeing war-torn nations. The refugees--the
vast majority of whom are women and children--already go through an
extremely strict screening process before they are allowed to enter the
country. What we really need extreme vetting of is President Trump's Executive
orders before he signs them. With the stroke of a pen, President
Trump's orders will make ISIS stronger, weaken America's
counterterrorism efforts, and likely cost lives.
