Democrats Slam Trumps Immigration Ban As Callous And Cruel

[TomCADem]

Kudos to Democratic leaders who have been loudly opposing Trump's efforts to target Muslims and refugees.

Democratic lawmakers harshly and unequivocally condemned President Donald Trump’s executive order Friday that blocks refugees from entering the United States and bars all people coming from seven Muslim-majority countries.

The widespread criticism from Democrats contrasted sharply with the response from Republicans, who went largely silent after Trump signed the order.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said there were tears in the eyes of the Statue of Liberty over the president’s action.

“As the Statue of Liberty holds her torch of welcome high, there are tears in her eyes as she sees how low this Administration has stooped in its callousness toward mothers and children escaping war-torn Syria. This Administration has mistaken cruelty for strength and prejudice for strategy,” Pelosi said in a statement.
