Farhana Khera:

Yes.

So what we have found, unfortunately, is that the waiver process is a sham. So, family members are supposed to be able to get an exception through a waiver. But, in reality, the government actually hasn't even been clear with the public about how you even apply for a waiver.

And the reality is, is those people who are requesting waivers, they're being reviewed and approved in an extremely slow manner. There are people who've been waiting literally three years to be reunited with a fiance, to be reunited with an infant child.

That is way too long. And now, by adding these additional countries, we're inflicting harm on literally tens of thousands of more Americans.

And if I can just add, Amna, we believe, according to census data, in the United States today, based on now the 13 countries that are on the banned list, that involves at least a million Americans. A million Americans have their place of birth in these 13 countries. And they obviously have family members, some of whom they want to be reunited with.

So this is inflicting harm on people. And this is not about national security at all.
