    America is the most generous nation in the world. We don’t sit idly by while other people die. A holistic first response to human needs is not measured by migration to America alone, but also in how we help persons where they are with safety and just governance. #refugees

        Wow. I’m sure that’s a huge consolation to the victims of the largest refugee crisis we’ve ever seen. Shame on you and the sadistic president you worship.

        What have you done to stop police bias and brutality toward black Americans, Jeff? Sit idly by, I presume?

        Too self-righteous. We’ve certainly sat on the sidelines in places like Rwanda, Iraq (the Marsh Arabs), Armenia and especially in regards to our own domestic legacy in our dealings with Native Americans.

        How can the cap on migrants drop to 30,000 and we do our fair share when just a few years ago, that number was over 100,000?

        Plenty of Germans were left to die in the gas chambers while the USA refused to let them in. How can you be a Congressman and not know history? I guess that wasn't a requirement when the Koch brothers recruited you.

        There are still over 400 refugee children that trump kidnapped in concentration camps. What the hell are you talking about Jeff?
