They have
not forsaken our history as a nation founded by enterprising
individuals seeking refuge and freedom from persecution. They have
ensured that our policies do not betray our proud tradition as the
humanitarian leader of the world. This decision illustrates that President Trump is misinformed and
that he has caved to the counsel of xenophobic voices seeking to hollow
out our refugee program. By shutting our doors to thousands of innocent
human beings fleeing persecution and tyranny, he misunderstands the
history of the country he was elected to lead. I hope that he
reconsiders his callous decision, as the law in fact empowers him to
do, in light of emerging humanitarian concerns.
