Actress Angelina Jolie in a
recent op-ed for the New York Times has weighed in on President Donald Trump's
immigration ban, accusing him of ignoring facts about how refugees get into the
U.S.
"It is simply not
true that our borders are overrun or that refugees are admitted to the United
States without close scrutiny. Refugees are subject to the highest level of
screening of any category of traveler to the United States' she
wrote.
Angelina works with the
UN's High Commissioner for Refugees. She's also adopted 3 children born outside
the country and she says she understands security from terrorism is of the
utmost importance, but thinks "our
response must be measured and should be based on facts, not fear."
In the article, she never mentions Trump by name, but says
she'd want any president to work with people of all faiths around the world to
make all nations more secure.
