I am fearful that if we were to pass 1690 as it is drafted, it would not only really violate that long tradition of America being a place that welcomes people who are seeking asylum.
To use the Chair's words, you know what Americans can't stand? You know what they hate about this town? They can't stand gun violence and they can't stand the fact that the Judiciary Committee has done nothing about it.
Congress certainly has the authority to do that and I think that's one of the key issues for this Committee and the Congress to consider.
It would put migrants in an uncertain dangerous situation as Mr. Cicilline said and would transfer our responsibilities to countries that have minimal resources.
