Historically, we have been a compassionate country that has welcomed
people seeking refuge from repression and atrocities. That is why I
understand. I understand the concerns about refugees from certain
failed states or governments who sponsor terror, places where very
often it is difficult if not impossible to verify the identities of
people seeking to come to the United States. I say this to people all the time. When you talk about changes in
policies, there is a legitimate argument and a credible argument to be
made that there are people we cannot allow into the United States, not
because we don't have compassion for their plight but because we have
no way of knowing who they are.
