Speaker Nancy Pelosi has slammed President Donald Trump over what she described as outrageous and discriminatory, the addition of Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Tanzania and Sudan to the US travel ban.
Nancy who is a Democrats focused on strengthening America’s middle class and creating jobs; said that the travel ban will threaten the US security, values and rule of law.
She assured of establishing ‘NO BAN Act’ that will prohibit religious discrimination of America’s immigration system and limit Trump’s ability to impose what she described as ‘biased and bigoted restrictions.’
According to her, “The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy.
“America’s strength has always been as a beacon of hope and opportunity for people around the world, whose dreams and aspirations have enriched our nation and made America more American. With this latest callous decision, the President has doubled down on his cruelty and further undermined our global leadership, our Constitution and our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants.
“In the Congress and in the Courts, House Democrats will continue to oppose the Administration’s dangerous anti-immigrant agenda. In the coming weeks, the House Judiciary Committee will mark-up and bring to the Floor the NO BAN Act to prohibit religious discrimination in our immigration system and limit the President’s ability to impose such biased and bigoted restrictions. We will never allow hatred or bigotry to define our nation or destroy our values.”
