The executive order signed by the President, really, as you know, is
based on legislation that passed this House with overwhelming
bipartisan support. It was following the attacks over the past 2 years. It was the SAFE Act that passed this House 289-137, and the Visa Waiver
Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act that passed by
407-19. I will point out that these two bills received veto-proof
majorities, and President Obama signed the visa waiver bill into law. President Trump's actions are temporary pauses and reassess our
vetting procedures to keep our country safe. While there was,
certainly, some confusion with how this was implemented over the
weekend, the Secretary of Homeland Security is effectively addressing
key issues to ensure legal permanent residents who are returning to our
country are allowed entry unless our security services have a
compelling reason to suggest otherwise.
