Mayor Fung’s Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order
on Immigration
“As the son of immigrants who came to this country from
China to live the American Dream, President Trump's executive order hits me
hard and I have concerns.
“First and foremost, I do support a fair and thorough
vetting process for immigrants to get to America legally. But, I am concerned about the unintended
consequences from this executive order.
I'm troubled at the lack of notice for families in transit and for
detaining legal green card holders.
People who have been living here legally with Green Cards or followed
the rules to work or study in the United States should not be detained or
deported based on their religion or country of origin.
“It appears as though this executive order was rolled out
quickly, far too quickly in my opinion, and did not go through proper
vetting. We all know how botched roll
outs go in this state, and often leads to a lot of anguish and needless
suffering. While I whole-heartedly
support sensible reforms, and think we need to strengthen our borders greatly,
immigration and national security are complex problems that should not be
rushed.”
