Senator McCain and Senator Graham
released the following statements: Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation.
It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted. We are particularly concerned by reports that this order went into effect with little to no consultation with the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security.
Such a hasty process risks harmful results. We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the country they call home. We should not stop those who have served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children.
Ultimately, we fear this executive order will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. At this very moment, American troops are fighting side-by-side with our Iraqi partners to defeat ISIL. But this executive order bans Iraqi pilots from coming to military bases in Arizona to fight our common enemies. Our most important allies in the fight against ISIL are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred. This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security.

It's nice to see Republicans also taking a stand. Hopefully both sides will start working together

The cheeto in chiefs response in twitter:
The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong - they are sadly weak on immigration. The two......Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III.

Haha it's nice to know he thinks those two are starting WWIII. I think it's time he stops and looks in the mirror.

ETA: it looks nice but when you look at the others, not so much.

They can make joint statements all they want, but they still support all of his horrible cabinet choices.
It's going to take more than a statement to get me on board with those two. Hope they step up.

Words, words words.
Yet they do nothing.
