These two tweets to my right are a memorial to a time when Vice President Pence and Speaker Ryan were prepared to publicly oppose policies they called un-American. Now, when faced with the reality of this policy, Speaker Ryan is choosing to support the ban. Our Vice President deleted his tweet. We had to search around to find the original tweet, and it is right over there. The American people deserve better. Let's be clear. The President's executive order makes America less safe. The only threat to America posed by Syrian refugees is to our conscience. Instead of protecting the homeland from terror, the President has gift-wrapped powerful propaganda for our enemies. This is not just my opinion or the opinion of Democrats in Congress.
