KAINE: [Trump's immigration ban from seven Muslim countries] affects green card holders. It affects people on special immigrant visas like interpreters who've helped the U.S. military in foreign countries. Who would help the US if they knew we would abandon them when they're trying to come here? It's a religious test. It imposes a different burden on Muslims than others.
Q: You tweeted yesterday, "If we turn our backs on widows and orphans fleeing the very evil we despise, we do not defeat our enemies; we surrender to them." What can you do?
KAINE: The Trump administration is posed to do horrible danger to our country, our values, our people and our reputation. And we're going to do everything we can in Congress, in the courts, in state houses, in ballot boxes, online and in peaceful protests to make sure that this administration doesn't hurt the country that we love.
