"In the midst of the worst refugee crisis in our history, the Trump Administration has decided to drop America's moral standing to a new low by drastically reducing the U.S. refugee admissions goal to only 18,000 for the next year."

"On the same day, the Trump Admin also issued a new executive order, flying in the face of court decisions, that claims to give local governments the power to turn away refugees."

"Ever since our nation's tragic failure to help Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust, we've set the example by providing safe haven to the world's most vulnerable people."

"The Administration's actions are a betrayal of the longstanding bipartisan tradition of generosity towards refugees. This will accomplish nothing except to further punish innocent victims of persecution who pose no threat to our security & have turned to America for safety."
