Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, anyone who wants to protect Americans from terrorist attacks should support President Trump's immigration executive orders. Put aside the hysteria of his political opponents. Here are the facts: There will be a temporary halt in the admission to the U.S. of those from seven designated countries, including Iraq, Iran, Libya, and Syria. These are the exact same countries designated a security threat by President Obama. Congress passed bipartisan legislation in 2015 designating these countries as security risks in order to protect our homeland from terrorism. In fact, the bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 407-19. Despite what the media and others imply, Muslims are not being targeted. Many Muslim majority countries, in fact, are not singled out. The purpose of the temporary halt is to allow time to improve procedures so better background checks can be developed. Who could possibly oppose efforts to keep Americans safe? ____________________”
