Rokita Statement on President Trump's Executive Order Concerning Immigration

Statement

Issues: National Security Executive Branch Immigration

Rep. Todd Rokita issued this statement regarding President Trump's recent executive order on immigration:

"While the United States has a proud tradition of welcoming refugees into our country, we cannot ignore the high-threat environment that exists in the world. This is not a ban on Muslim refugees, as the order specifically targets a select few nations with known terrorist networks and is similar to an executive order signed by President Obama without controversy in 2011. The President and his administration must now focus on the execution of this order, ensuring that it is implemented effectively and fairly."
