Throughout his campaign, Trump repeatedly questioned the motives of Syrian refugees, describing them as “pouring” into the country and likening them to snakes and a Trojan horse.

The draft also directs The Secretary of State or Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence to review identity-verifying processes and risk determinations used to vet anyone looking to enter the country from each country in question.

Many of their signs called for the defense of Muslims’ rights and the continued reception of refugees from Syria and other Muslim countries in conflict. This is not what the USA stands for.

Suspending all refugee admissions for 120 days while the administration determines which countries pose the least risk. The scientist was one of about 12,000 Syrian refugees accepted into the U.S.to flee the devastation in his home country.
