Rep. Jayapal: Trump "Is the Greatest Threat to Our Democracy"
Immigration has been at the center of political discussion in America ever since President Trump took office in January. After the terror attack in New York City last week, the president is once again calling for increased restrictions on who is allowed into the country. President Trump pressed Congress to cancel a visa lottery program that was used by the New York City attacker.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) says the president's stances are hypocritical. Jayapal points to the fact that millions of immigrants come to the United States to make this country better, including the First Lady Melania Trump.
Overall, Jayapal considers President Trump to be a threat to the state of the country's democracy, claiming that the president's efforts to undermine institutions that challenge him are deeply troubling.
