McAuliffe on Travel Ban: We Are ‘Scaring’ People, ‘Discrimination Breeds Hatred’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE:  Governor McAuliffe, first of all, is this travel order — is it about religion?  And secondly, your thoughts about stepped up deportations?  
MCAULIFFE:  Well, it’s very disconcerting.  People think it’s about religion and they think it’s about geography.  And that’s very damaging to our economy. I go back — this is not helping us create jobs.  I was out of Dulles Airport within 12 hours —
WALLACE:  I mean, wait a minute, if you’re protecting the country, I mean, doesn’t that come before jobs?  
MCAULIFFE:  Chris, let’s be clear.  Everybody is about protecting the country.  We have a very rigorous program, the United States of America, to check two year process on refugees, and other related visits.  Let’s be clear.  We’re all in agreement.  We want to keep our country safe.  But there is a very fine line.
