Washington, DC – Congressman Jerry McNerney issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order imposing a ban on travel from seven countries and suspending the refugee program.
“President Trump’s executive order on immigration is a sharp departure from our long and proud history of welcoming immigrants to our nation. It unfairly targets individuals based on their religion and country of origin, hurting both refugees who are fleeing persecution and others who have been valuable aides to our military in the fight against terrorism. This policy has already started tearing apart families and will hurt our national security by giving terrorist groups a significant recruiting tool. We need to stand together to repudiate and overturn this destructive policy.”

This is the drastic step Trumps voters put him into office for. We have had years of open boarders and unchecked immigration into our country and it has to stop. Go look at the CDC disease reports that are happening herein the US that were considered a non issue 20-30 years ago. All incoming immigrants need to be properly vetted for all previous terrorist connections, past crimes, and previous and current diseases. About 30 percent of all Federal prisoners are illegal aliens. They don’t all come here to work! Oh and no more coming across the boarder and having your baby here as an anchor. And lets not forget if you have not been paying attention to all the radical Islamic killings lately. Pull your head out of your you know what. It has to stop. Let me ask you: do you lock the doors to your house at night? How about your side gate to your back yard? Or do you just let anyone into your house and back yard?
Comments don’t fix anything! When are all these members of Congress going to realize, that if they had been doing their jobs we wouldn’t be in this mess. Talk is cheap. Congress continues to get the lowest approval ratings in History, and yet they still don’t get it.
Actually Jerry McNerney is out of touch. We have a proud history of welcoming (legal) immigrants to our Nation, nothing has changed Jerry.
The ONLY problem is that you Jerry as a Congressman and law maker, has apparently forgotten the definition between illegal and legal.
Here is a cheat sheet for you;
1. Legal immigration= OK
2. illegal immigration= No, NOT OK
3. Jerry representing us as a congressman=Questionable and not OK.
