U.S. Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) released this statement Mon., Jan. 30, about President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration: “After careful review of the recent executive order regarding immigration policy, I believe that the order was neither well drafted nor well implemented. Given recent events both here and abroad, we need to take steps to strengthen our nation’s security; however, this is most effectively pursued through thoughtful and deliberative legislation. While I acknowledge that the president may act in the event of a national security threat or emergency situation, this process was rushed and led to confusion. There is no doubt that we need to thoroughly vet people coming from countries where there are strongholds of ISIS and al-Qaida. At the same time, we have to balance our security with the need to respect the rights of U.S. citizens and people who are subject to valid immigration proceedings, including lawful permanent residents.”
