Statement on Revised Executive Order Travel Ban

Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released the following statement:

"By the Trump Administration's own admission, the new executive order signed today was ‘tailored to achieve the same goals' that our judicial system ruled unconstitutional in the first order.

"Regardless the window dressing, today's order still does not make our country safer, does nothing to target the root causes of terrorism, and undermines the values that define our nation.

"I support continuing to improve our screening processes for refugees and others admitted into the United States, but arbitrarily banning entry from certain Muslim-majority countries and barring refugees fleeing terror remains wrong and ineffective."
