‘It’s remarkable because the experience with America is positive and feeling that America’s kind to refugees’

RUSH EXCERPT:

VELSHI: “And it’s remarkable because the experience with America is positive and feeling that America’s kind to refugees. I think we’ve got — starting to scare Americans about what refugees are. But this is what refugees represent. Honestly, we’re hear because of Thanksgiving, right? But there is actually a tradition that is just as much Thanksgiving, and that is welcoming persecuted people to this country. That is what the families are. They are persecuted families, seeking religion freedom, freedom from prosecution because of war and coming to this country is an opportunity for a safe life. A life where they want to be able to appreciate everyone’s contributions.”
