GOP Rep. Dan Donovan: We Will Never Ban Muslims

‘We need to help the Syrian refugees get out of harms way’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DONOVAN: "You’re absolutely right. There are 45 other Muslim predominantly countries who are welcome in our country without being subjected to this pause. And you’re right, when the president during the campaign as a candidate said he wanted to ban Muslims from our country, our country is based on religious freedom. Our forefathers were smart enough to put it in the first amendment, not the 13th or 18th amendment. People who created our country, who founded our country, fleeing religious persecution from their own homelands, we will never ban people. We are grateful to come to new York, raise their children here, have businesses here, we are concerned with terrorism. They’re our enemy and they have compromised the refugee program in Syria and used those seven other countries not only to harbor terrorists but come into our country through there.”
