Coons: GOP Has to Join Us if We Are to Have a Chance of Stopping the Travel Ban

EXCERPT:

COONS: "That's right, Alisyn. We don't control either the House or the Senate, so we have to have Republicans join us in order to be able to either stop the funding for the implementation of the ban or to be able to pass legislation repealing the ban. Mostly what we can do is to express the voices that I've heard from. Thousands of Delawareans have reached out to my office expressing concern about this. Frankly, the congregation I grew up in helped send to me an important signal about what it means to be a community of faith by welcoming a refugee family from South Vietnam when I was a young man. That very congregation was set to welcome a Syrian refugee family this Thursday. And I heard by e-mail, by Twitter, my phone call from folks all across Delaware that they want me to be standing up against this ban; and they want to make sure that religious discrimination isn't enshrined in how the Trump administration carries these actions forward."
