Speaker, and that is the executive order that has been issued by the
President of the United States. I want to dispel any myth that Members
of this body who oppose the executive order are against security for
this Nation. I am a years'-long member of the Homeland Security Committee, the
Transportation Security Committee, the Border Security Committee, and
work hard to write a stiff border security bill. But, frankly, this is
a Muslim ban, and when a 17-year-old, 16-year-old from my community,
from Jordan, was stopped and held for 48 hours and shipped to Chicago,
that is a Muslim ban. What I say to those who have executed it is that you have to realize
that the order that you tried to copy from President Obama was not the
same.
