Speaker, I rise to give voice to my constituents
and their families whose worlds have been turned upside down following
President Trump's executive order last Friday, which they feel is
directed at Muslims. Since the order was signed, we have been flooded
with calls, with messages; and no matter where I am in the district,
people are scared and terrified. I cannot convey to this House enough the feelings of individuals who
have gone through a stringent vetting process, who hold green cards,
who are official legal residents--in some cases, even citizens--who are
afraid that someone is going to knock on their door at 3 a.m. and take
and deport them from this country. They are real people. The Detroit headlines are full today of stories of an Iraqi whose
mother died, who had served with the military in Iraq, and was trying
to bring his mother back.
