2 | Senator | Lisa | Murkowski | R | AK | Neutral | All weekend long my staff and I have been monitoring implementation of President Trump's recent EO related to immigration - consulting wiht both the Dept. of Homeland Security and stakeholders in Alaska. Like others, we are trying to understand the remifications of this action, including the suspension of the refugee resettlement program and its impact on Alaskans and those coming to our community. We have spoken with Catholic Social Services of Alaska about the effect of the EO in our state. President Trump has made it clear that the security of Americans is his top priority. I agree. I also believe U.S. immigration policy must strike a balance between national security and our values as Americans and that how we implement policy matters. I will be pressing the Administration to address the needs of those impacted by the implementation of this order while we work on the broader policy. | https://twitter.com/lisamurkowski/status/826132913683124225 | 2022 | 709 Hart Senate Office Building | 202-224-6665 | 907-271-3735 | https://www.murkowski.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact | https://twitter.com/lisamurkowski | @lisamurkowski | 510 L Street, Suite 600, Anchorage, AK 99501 | ||||||||||||||

Our intelligence community and citizens in communities across Arkansas and in the U.S. lack confidence in the programs we use to vet refugees fleeing from persecution and war-torn countries like Syria.

9 | Senator | John | McCain | R | AZ | Opposed | Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation. It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted. We are particularly concerned by reports that this order went into effect with little to no consultation with the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security. Such a hasty process risks harmful results. We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the country they call home. We should not stop those who have served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children. Ultimately, we fear this executive order will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. At this very moment, American troops are fighting side-by-side with our Iraqi partners to defeat ISIL. But this executive order bans Iraqi pilots from coming to military bases in Arizona to fight our common enemies. Our most important allies in the fight against ISIL are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred. This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security. | http://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2017/1/statement-by-senators-mccain-graham-on-executive-order-on-immigration | 2022 | 241 Russell Senate Office Building | 202-224-2235 | 602-952-2410 | https://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact-form | https://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain | @SenJohnMcCain | 2201 East Camelback Road, Suite 115, Phoenix, AZ 85016 | ||||||||||||||

20 | Senator | Johnny | Isakson | R | GA | Skeptical | Two separate pieces from interviews -1) "President Trump and his administration have been taking steps to fulfill his campaign promises, and he’s right that we need to strengthen our national security and improve the vetting process for people coming into our country. Unfortunately, some important aspects of the process to ensure that this temporary travel ban could be implemented smoothly were overlooked. I hope that President Trump will consult with the national security team he has assembled with the advice and consent of the Senate, so that security measures are properly implemented and do not infringe on the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. I also believe that America should continue to be welcoming to refugees who are fleeing war and persecution and who share America’s ideals and values" 2) "I do think in the case of the immigration issue that the mandate over the weekend was not very well vetted and the people designed to carry out the mandate didn’t know what the mandate was, and when asked some of the questions it didn’t sound like the White House knew what it was exactly. They’ve amended it a couple times already.

Strengthening our immigration system is critical to that end, and it’s common sense to have appropriate vetting procedures in place for individuals wishing to travel to our country. While I support thorough vetting, I do not support restricting the rights of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Furthermore, far-reaching national security policy should always be devised in consultation with Congress and relevant government agencies. | http://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=293BF2D8-A60C-4B8B-9B21-6D4CEE08CEAF | 2022 | 361A Russell Senate Office Building | 202-224-6521 | 785-628-6401 | https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/e-mail-jerry | https://twitter.com/JerryMoran | @JerryMoran | @moranforkansas | 1200 Main St., Suite 402, P.O.

And here's the second way to fail: If we send a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win by telling kids that America is banning Muslims and that this is America versus one religion.

80 | Senator | Lindsey | Graham | R | SC | Opposed | Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation. It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted. We are particularly concerned by reports that this order went into effect with little to no consultation with the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security. Such a hasty process risks harmful results. We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the country they call home. We should not stop those who have served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children. Ultimately, we fear this executive order will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. At this very moment, American troops are fighting side-by-side with our Iraqi partners to defeat ISIL. But this executive order bans Iraqi pilots from coming to military bases in Arizona to fight our common enemies. Our most important allies in the fight against ISIL are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred. This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security. | http://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=587F2A2D-8A47-48F7-9045-CF30F0A77889 | 2020 | 290 Russell Senate Office Building | 202-224-5972 | (864) 250-1417 | https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/e-mail-senator-graham | https://twitter.com/GrahamBlog | @GrahamBlog | @LindseyGrahamSC | 130 South Main Street, 7th Floor, Greenville, SC 29601 | |||||||||||||
