Attorney General Xavier Becerra Issues Statement on Trump Administration’s Executive Order Regarding Refugees

by ECT

SACRAMENTO – Attorney General Xavier Becerra issued the following statement, in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order regarding refugees:

“Justice in America doesn’t live or die on the stroke of one man’s pen regardless of how high his office.

The Trump Administration’s anti-religion, anti-refugee executive order is in so many ways unjust and anti-American. It discriminates against human beings based on their faith. It denies entry to those with proven and legitimate fears of death and persecution. It tramples on centuries of American tradition.

I have conferred with my team, and we are reaching out to others as well, to find every avenue possible to defend our family members and those who live permanently in our communities who may be barred from re-entry into America. We will do all we can for refugees who have met our country’s legal test for admission to escape death and persecution. We will use every tool within our authority to offer victims of the Trump Administration’s overreach a fighting chance to overcome but another cruel barrier to their flight to freedom.

The Trump executive order should not stand and must be confronted as a constitutional overreach.”

The natives didn’t ask you puritan European Neanderthals here. Only “culture” Americans have is materialism, war, guns, greed, tyranny, and globalization. Immigrants are what gave America its culture. If it weren’t for the war machines, the world wouldn’t be so destitute with refugees. The process of getting here is extensive as it is, people oversimplify how difficult is really is. They have to cross an ocean for goodness sake.

The refugees do cross the ocean but they dont leave the problems where they came from , instead they bring over more problems because they still teach and only follow islam. If you allow them to take over , they will and I dont want to be a follower of islam. I am not scared of the religion , I am scared of the way they are taking over and they are the ones who will not tolerate anything but islam .

This AG is a libtard shill. He should have never been appointed and confirmed. He has a really bad record. His meddling will cost our State millions in federal dollars.

It’s all pure ignores on the people that think Trump is going to change any thing…he’s going to bring all the shit from the 50s n 60s back an all hell is going break loose …all the legit green card holders weather it’s visa to work or resident need to stand their ground…….

You must be living in a fantasy. Trump has already done more in a week than obummer did in 8 years. He is following through on his promises. Trump says “we and “us” compared to obummers “I” and “my”.

I’ve got news for you in case you haven’t noticed there is a new sheriff in town and all hell is breaking loose. Lawbreakers can stand their ground behind bars!

Unfortunately, when Trump says “we”, it’s in the Royal sense of the word. Don’t think for one second that he cares about you and yours…unless you happen to be a billionaire.

You must have missed his inaugural speech. He wasn’t talking about billionaires he was talking about us. He was talking about handing Goverment back over to the people. Sharp contrast to Hussein Obama who meant “I” and “me” every time he spoke.

“We” the deplorables are sick and tired of hearing the whining coming from those who can’t face reality.

Regardless of what you think of Trump (love, hate, somewhere in the middle) he’s following through on his promises. Kind of scary.
