We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the
country they call home. We should not stop those who have
served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from
seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to
help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have
been shown, through extensive vetting, to pose no
demonstrable threat to our Nation, and who have suffered
unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children. Ultimately, we fear this Executive order will become a
self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. At this
very moment, American troops are fighting side-by-side with
our Iraqi partners to defeat ISIL.
