LET REFUGEES IN
——————————————————————————————

On March 6, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order to place a temporary ban on visas from six Muslim majority countries and barred any refugees from entering the United States for 120 days. http://bit.ly/2lwCL4j

A month later, Trump responded to a chemical weapons attack purported to have been launched by the Assad regime against its own people, by authorizing air strikes in Syria. http://cnn.it/2oLHdgt Specifically citing the “loss of life of innocent men, women and children”, President Trump justified this mission as “vital to our national security”. http://nyti.ms/2nCSfVe Bombing Syria under the PRETENSE of a humanitarian mission is the height of hypocrisy while the United States refuses to accept victims suffering under the Assad dictatorship.

HR 1503 (SOLVE Act 2.0) and S 608 would revoke the Muslim Ban 2.0 and allow Syrian refugees to enter our country. Some of our Members of Congress are supporting this legislation – but THEY CAN DO MORE. As Hillary Clinton said at the Women in the World conference, “We cannot in one breath speak of protecting Syrian babies and in the next close American doors to them.”  See article below.
