We know for a fact that there are terrorist groups
around the world that have commandeered passport-making machinery and
are producing passports that are real in every way, except for the
identity of the person in the picture. So I do believe that we need to have very careful and rigorous
screening, more than ever before, of all people entering the United
States but especially those who are coming from areas that we know do
not have reliable background information available to us. But at the same time, I cannot help, and I think we should not help,
but to be worried about the impact of a 120-day moratorium on every
single refugee from anywhere on the planet, refugees from places like
the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine, Colombia, El Salvador,
Vietnam, Burma, and, of course, Cuba, just to name a few places. These
are among the most vulnerable people on the planet, living often in the
most difficult and dangerous circumstances imaginable. I remind everyone: This is a moratorium; it is not a permanent
policy.
