On Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., demanded the Trump administration rescind the executive order that temporarily bans immigration from seven countries known to be hotbeds of terrorism, Newsmax reported.
Called Sec Kelly to urge the admin to rescind these anti-American executive actions that will do absolutely nothing to improve our safety.

Apparently, Schumer thinks it’s “anti-American” to protect the country from terrorists.
There’s more:
We have a long & proud tradition of accepting refugees who seek safety in the US after thorough vetting. That tradition should continue.

These Exec Orders will only serve to embolden & inspire those around the globe who would do us harm. They must be reversed, immediately.

Good thing Chucky wasn’t around when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
HAHAHAHAHA You made a phone call? Tell us more about these bold, striking actions you've got planned for the future.

Newsmax added:
Schumer joined other Democrats Saturday in ripping President Donald Trump’s refugee order, which was signed on Friday.
It banned travelers from seven countries that have been linked by national security officials to terrorism from entering the U.S. for 90 days: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
The directive also suspended entry of all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halted all admissions from Syria.
Twelve travelers from Iraq were detained Friday at JFK as they tried to enter the country. Two were released on Saturday as lawyers and civil-liberties groups sued in federal court to delay the action.
