Fabrizio Moreira Quotes

There is no other country that has the Cuban Adjustment Act; that's why it's called the Cuban Adjustment Act and not the Nicaraguan Adjustment Act.

The current system for admission of refugees with family ties in the U.S. is fraught with inconsistencies and discriminatory practices.

The scandal isn't that refugees want to come to the United States. It's that Trump is abusing these aspiring Americans and closing our doors to them.

With President Obama restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba, the immigration preferential treatment given to Cubans... no longer makes sense.

I am for an immigration policy that's welcoming and upholds the law.

What I'll say is that Cuban-Americans don't have to deal with the same immigration issues as other nationalities because of the 'wet feet, dry feet' policy. For Cubans, one year after you touch United States territory, you can become a legal resident.

America has a long and proud history of providing safe harbor for refugees. We must continue to do so, but in a way that keeps America safe.

There will be no use of military forces in immigration. There will be no - repeat, no - mass deportations.

We must find a way to balance our tradition as a state welcoming of refugees while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens.

Germany has got to deal with its global responsibilities in a mature way. There has been insufficient thought to immigration law, and we need to differentiate between different kinds of migrants. There are valid refugees whose lives are at risk at home.

Mr. Trump wants citizens of other nations to know that there is a legal process that needs to be followed, and that that process is only way to come to America.

I believe that the Cuban Adjustment Act must be re-examined.

How can I justify the Cuban Adjustment Act when there are people coming from Cuba saying that they come - that they have - that they should be treated differently from other migrants? But they're going back to that country.

I think we need to do two things - or three things. One is we need to put a stop on refugees until we can vet.

Our laws were not designed to accommodate three or four thousand refugees coming here per day. Our laws were designed for people to be screened in a foreign country, carefully catalogued, and brought here a few at a time. This just didn't happen.

I have the utmost respect for those who have come to this country legally and have contributed to the great melting pot that is America today. But those who have crossed our borders illegally have broken the law and the law ought to be enforced.
