REP. TED YOHO:

I disagree with that.

I think the president — the executive, regardless who it is, has the ability to decide who comes in and doesn't if it's a national security risk. And all he's asking — I have read the executive order — all he's asking is put a pause on it so that we get the metrics right, so that we can do the background checks correct.

I don't see a problem with that. And he's got in there where you come back in 30 days, reassess it, 60, 90, and 120 days.

This is a pause. This is not a ban, complete ban. It is a pause. And I think anybody that is concerned with national security, and if you look at our Constitution — he kept talking about being Constitution — the Constitution states very clearly that the number one task of our government is to provide for the common defense and protection of this country.

And I think, when you look around the world, other areas that have not done this, I think they're wishing they would have been a little bit more stringent in the examination of people coming in, in the refugee program.

You know, look at Belgium, look at Paris, look at Germany. And I think this is a time that we have to do that. And it's — again, it's a temporary pause. And people, I think, just need to calm down, let us work through the process.

The courts will work this out. But I think it's also good that it brought to light how we have to fix our immigration policy. So I welcome that, too.
