Eshoo Statement on President's Unconstitutional Immigration Ban

January 27, 2017
Today, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-CA) released the following statement regarding the President's unconstitutional immigration ban.

"Time and time again President Trump has mocked, ridiculed, and threatened anyone who is different from him in our country. Today, he took steps to temporarily shut our doors to those seeking refuge in the United States. Our refugee resettlement program already contains the most stringent screening in the world including thirteen steps of tough vetting. The refugees that the President has shut our doors to today are not terrorists, they are the victims of terrorism who have occupied their homelands.

As a child of immigrants, I will continue to stand up for refugees and vigorously oppose the Administration's shameful efforts to rob hope from the hopeless."
