Senators McCain, Shaheen, and I and many others have worked on this
program, and Senator Sessions has been a determined opponent of the SIV
Program, and I just can't understand why. If we will not help the
people who help us, then who will choose to help us in the future? Some
of these SIV immigrants were turned away at airports after the poorly
conceived and poorly implemented immigration order of President Trump. As we contemplate some of this President's outlandish and
discriminatory claims about immigrants and as we deal with the
aftermath of this poor order, we have to separate the extreme and the
untrue from our legitimate security concerns. A good lawyer often needs
to be a check against the bad instincts of his client. In this area, I
am not confident Senator Sessions can do that.
