Assemblywoman Malliotakis and Sen. Raptakis on March 2 released the following statement concerning the situation:
The U.S. government needs to oppose this action in the strongest terms possible. “Every nation has the right to secure its borders. That is true for both the U.S. and Greece. Both nations have long, proud histories of showing compassion toward immigrants and refugees. However, they must also have the ability to control the flow of immigration and know who is entering their country for security, health and economic reasons."
