## Transcript

And this is the protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entrance into the United States. We all know what that means, [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I think it goes against the fundamental nature of our freedom of religion in our country. It's such a foundational principle of America that we don't discriminate on the basis of religion. And when it comes to refugees when it's chiseled into the foundations of the base of Statue of Liberty It says give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. The oppressed and afflicted of the world, not those of one religion or another. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
