People are dying
in hospitals because they can't get medical supplies. We need to speak
out about that. Many of us have come to the floor to talk about the challenges we
have as global citizens on the number of refugees, the displaced
persons we have. We have numbers now that we haven't seen since the end
of World War II of people who do not have a home, who are refugees. We
need to do something
about that. The most recent mass number left Burma because of the
persecution of the Rohingya Muslims, and they are now in Bangladesh in
horrible conditions. We all have a responsibility to respond. There are
a number of refugees from Syria--huge numbers--and it requires U.S.
leadership. This has been a bipartisan commitment in the Senate and a bipartisan
commitment in the Congress, but I must tell you that I am disappointed
by President Trump's failure to lead on this issue. He recently visited
Asia.
