HOYER. Going to go to another subject, Mr. Leader, obviously, we
are very concerned about the Affordable Care Act, but we are also very
concerned--as we talked about executive
orders on this refugee ban that were issued, according to almost
everybody, without much consultation with anybody other than within the
White House--of an order banning Muslim refugees from coming into this
country even after very strong vetting. I know that the position is, oh, this is not a ban. The complication
you have to that representation is the President keeps mentioning it as
a ban, as he said he was going to do in the election, and he referred
to it as a ban just a few days ago. But I would point out to you, Mr. Leader--and I am sure you know this--not a single terrorist act--not
one--has been perpetrated by a refugee coming into this country from
any one of the seven nations mentioned in the ban. We believe this is
not only contrary to the Constitution but that it is contrary to our
principles. Let me make it clear, Mr.
