JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I hosted a community listening
session where my fellow citizens and I listened to the personal
experiences of Muslims, refugees, and other immigrants in the aftermath
of the President's Muslim/immigrant ban and ICE dragnet crackdown on
Latinos. It was a safe place for Muslims, refugees, and immigrants to come and
share their experiences, values, and love for this country, and it
provided an opportunity for us to embrace our fellow citizens in love. We insist that these valuable members of our community and their
children be able to live without fear, and to thrive. Unlike the Muslim/immigrant ban, the people of Georgia's Fourth
Congressional District welcomed those of all backgrounds and religions
and those fleeing persecution and facing war and bloodshed. Trump's immigration executive order is contrary to our values and
dangerous to our security. Americans who respect the Constitution must
oppose these kinds of acts, the injustice they represent, and the
suffering that they impose upon the innocent.
