I will agree, we have Iraqis who have helped us and saved American lives, and we have Afghans who have helped us and saved American lives. But, on balance, this has been blown completely out of proportion. Here is another statement that was made about the refugees. This is a quote from the gentleman who spoke here, ``an executive order banning Muslims.'' Again, it is an executive order, and it bans travel from seven Muslim countries--primarily Muslim countries--but it bans Christians as well as Muslims coming from those countries. As for the Christians, I think we should have been allowed in because they are the ones who were targeted.
