WASHINGTON — A growing group of Republican lawmakers criticized President
Trump’s refugee policy on Sunday even as party leaders in Congress
continued to show restraint.
The executive order Mr. Trump issued on Friday, which targets Syrian
refugees and all travelers from several predominantly Muslim nations, had
drawn little dissent from Republicans initially even as Democrats denounced
it and protests erupted around the country and the world.
But on Sunday, several members of Mr. Trump’s party said that the process,
while initiated with the right intention, had been too hastily enacted and
warned that it could backfire against United States interests.
Two Republican senators, John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina, led the criticism, saying in a statement that Mr. Trump’s order
was not properly vetted and that it could be seen as the United States
turning its back on Muslims who had risked their lives to serve as
interpreters for the country’s military and diplomats.

“Ultimately, we fear this executive order will become a self-inflicted
wound in the fight against terrorism,” they said, adding, “That is why we
fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than
improve our security.”
Mr. McCain also said the plan was carried out without proper consultation of
United States allies and that it mistakenly lumped together the country’s
adversaries, like Iran, with allies, like Iraq.
Republicans have largely supported Mr. Trump’s aggressive agenda, but in
his first major decision on national security, he is finding
uncharacteristic opposition from his party in the blush of his early days in
office.
Mr. Trump did not take well to the input, singling out Mr. McCain and Mr.
Graham on Twitter as “sadly weak on immigration.”

But as the day went on, they were not alone in their criticisms. Senator Bob
Corker of Tennessee, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said
that while he supported stronger screening, the order had been “poorly
implemented,” especially for green card holders. “The administration
should immediately make appropriate revisions, and it is my hope that
following a thorough review and implementation of security enhancements that
many of these programs will be improved and reinstated,” Mr. Corker said.
Indeed, the administration moved to ease some of those concerns late Sunday,
when the Department of Homeland Security announced that lawful permanent
residents would be exempt from the ban.
Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado, the chairman of the National Republican
Senatorial Committee, likewise said the order was “overly broad” and that
the blanket travel ban “goes too far.” Senator Lamar Alexander of
Tennessee seemed to echo those criticisms, adding that “while not
explicitly a religious test, it comes close to one, which is inconsistent
with our American character.”
Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio, went further, questioning the
hastiness of the order’s rollout and calling for a re-evaluation of the
White House’s unilateral effort. “In my view, we ought to all take a deep
breath and come up with something that makes sense for our national security
and again for this notion that America has always been a welcoming home for
refugees and immigrants,” Mr. Portman said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Similar concerns were voiced by some Republicans in the House. Most
prominent among them was Representative Michael McCaul, the chairman of the
Homeland Security Committee, who said that “it was clear” that adjustments
were needed to the order, but defended it in principle. Representative Will
Hurd of Texas, a former undercover C.I.A. officer, called the measure “the
ultimate display of mistrust” that would “erode our allies’ willingness
to fight with us” and put Americans at risk.
A handful of other Republicans, including Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah,
Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Senator Susan Collins of Maine, also
offered criticism, though more cautious, on Saturday.

The Republican leadership — and senior members of the House — have either
supported Mr. Trump or been largely silent about the order. Senator Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, said that the United States did
not make policy based on religion, though his criticism was muted compared
with his colleagues’.
Speaker Paul D. Ryan released a statement on Friday praising the order, but
his aides repeatedly declined requests for further comment.
Mr. McConnell cautioned against vilifying Muslims who are key allies in the
American war on terror. The country, he said, needed to “be careful” with
how the order is carried out. “I don’t want to criticize them for
improving vetting,” Mr. McConnell said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I think
we need to be careful. We don’t have religious tests in this country.”
As tensions mount, Mr. Trump’s actions will be debated on Capitol Hill this
week. Democrats pledged on Sunday to introduce legislation undoing them and
limiting Mr. Trump’s executive authority. And the measure could add
pressure to Mr. Trump’s nominees to lead the Justice and State Departments,
who will probably be asked to offer their positions on the ban.
Some Republicans compared the order to a measure that overwhelmingly passed
the House in 2015 not long after the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris. But
that bill was far less broad than Mr. Trump’s order, focusing narrowly on
the screening process for Syrians and Iraqis who entered the United States
as refugees. That bill was blocked by Democrats in the Senate, who argued
that it too closely mirrored Mr. Trump’s campaign talk of a Muslim ban, and
congressional Republicans largely put off the issue during the rest of the
campaign.
Mr. Trump’s order, which was enacted on Friday, halted the entry into the
United States of all refugees for 120 days, barred the entry of Syrian
refugees indefinitely and suspended for 90 days the entry of citizens of
Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — all predominantly
Muslim countries. It prompted chaos across the globe as the United States’
borders were sealed off to the affected groups and the Department of
Homeland Security rushed to apply uneven enforcement. By Saturday night,
judges in at least two states had issued stays preventing the government
from deporting certain arrivals caught in the rollout of the order.
Democrats were nearly united in their condemnation of Mr. Trump’s policy,
with several of them rushing to airports to speak out in defense of people
who had been detained and even those representing states that Mr. Trump won
voicing dissent.
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, called on Mr.
Trump to immediately reverse the action on Sunday, saying it made the
country “less humanitarian, less safe, less American.”
“It must be reversed immediately, and Democrats are going to introduce
legislation to overturn it,” Mr. Schumer told reporters gathered for a news
conference in New York.
Republicans who spoke out were more measured, directing their criticism at
the planning for the policy and its carrying out, though their disagreement
with Mr. Trump was still clear. Senator Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona,
wrote on the website Medium that the president “and his administration are
right to be concerned about national security, but it’s unacceptable when
even legal permanent residents are being detained or turned away at airports
and ports of entry.”
Mr. Sasse said Mr. Trump was right to focus on border security but disagreed
with how he was carrying out the policy.
And Representative Barbara Comstock, a Republican whose Northern Virginia
district includes a large Muslim population, said that Mr. Trump’s action
had gone “beyond the increased vetting actions the Congress has supported.” | b******2
