Is really surprising to my constituents. there are things we can and should do. do you think the temporary ban for four months from these seven countries coming into the united states is consistent with american values? you spoke against the muslim ban when president trump voiced it in 2015, 2016. a lot of people think that this is just a smaller version of a muslim ban finding seven majority muslim countries. by the way, none of the 9/11 hijackers came from these seven countries. you have tens of thousands of somali refugees and immigrants in columbus, ohio, who are literally crying this weekend because they re not able to bring over their loved ones who are terrified of being killed by terrorists in somalia. is this consistent with american values? again, this needs to be based on the facts. and my understanding of the executive order does not list all the countries, it lists syria and iraq, but precisely these would be included as i
Governor brewer to the one point that donald trump is keeping campaign promises. but the problem with that is he s breaking the promises to our constitution, to our founding fathers and partners around the world. ana said it clearly, i saw senator portman squirm and talk about semantics of whether or not it s a muslim ban or not, but the fact is there a lot of people in this country that feel persecuted by that. even more, it s a religious test in there. if you are a religious minority in a muslim majority country, you somehow get pres dns. so what we started down yesterday was more than a slippery slope. i mean, today, i feel like i m a muslim, a refugee because as doctor king said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. and i think that is what you re seeing around the country. i have to say actually, i would eradicate i was a legal resident. and this last week is very important for one reason. for many years now republicans attacked president obama legitimately
Broad. do you agree? i agree with both of those. one, is not a ban. however, i think it was not properly vetted. so you have an extreme vetting proposal that didn t get the vetting it should have had. as a result, ain the implementation, we have seen problems. what do you think should be done now? i think we should slow down. there was a discussion about hysterical voices on both sides of this. let s make two points. one, our kunltsry is not as safe as it should be. i m on the homeland security committee. we have had plenty of testimony about the fact there is not adequate screening, and so i do think we need to tighten things up. i think there s a general consensus about that. congress passed legislation to do so at the end of 2015. but second, we have do it in a way that is consistent with our values and consistent with our national security. and we are this beacon of hope and opportunity for the rest of the world. that s our self-image and a part of our foreign policy. we have
Little boy flynn and david duke, the former kkk leader, are celebrating it as a muslim ban. and those of us who don t want a muslim ban see it as such. governor, what is your take? well, that was a lot to take in, ana. that was a lot of opinions. what do you think? i believe that president trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on. he was elected president. and now he s delivering the goods. people in america want to be secure and safe. and with the ban, i think that it is perfectly fine to put it on a pause and do the complete vetting. and we have to address the issue of also all the overstayed visas. last year alone in 2015 there were 500,000 overstayed visas. and 1% were investigated. and this continues on and on and on. we know that americans want to be safe. and our allegiance first and foremost ought to be to our citiz citizens. our citizens look like the entire world, though. absolutely they do. and i have to agree with
Nicely. and we re going to have a very strict ban and extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years. thank you, everybody. an emergency stay issued by a judge late last night prevents authorities from deporting traveler who is had already arrived in the united states with valid visas. but it is still unclear how many people are currently detained and where exactly they will go. i m joined by new york city mayor bill de blasio, a democrat. i know you oppose donald trump s executive orders. i want to ask you about the implementations of the executive orders. it seems to be fairly chaotic at jfk aircraft. was there guidance about the new policy to people like you or the people who run your airports? and how it was to be carried out? no, there was no guidance. and obviously, there was not clear guidance to federal officials around the country. that s why there is so much confusion here. but let s be clear, president
