WASHINGTON – Saying the US already has “strict security vetting
requirements for refugees,” Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY17) said
Republican President Donald Trump’s executive order barring immigration
from a number of countries, “will not make us safer.”

Hours after the president signed his executive order that wreaked havoc
at airports around the country, a federal judge issued a temporary stay.

“Our enemies will use President Trump’s directive for propaganda
and recruitment, bolstering their efforts to damage America’s global
stature and endanger the lives of US citizens at home and abroad,”
Lowey said.

“Our nation’s most powerful policy tool is our moral leadership,”
the Democratic congresswoman said. “President Trump’s action
does not live up to America’s core values of equality and religious
freedom, and he must rescind his executive order immediately.”
