"The President'[s] comments are unkind, divisive, elites and fly in the face of our nation's values," her statement read. "This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation."

"My parents came from one of those countries bur proudly took an oath of allegiance to the United States and took on the responsibilities of everything that being a citizen comes with," she continued. "They never took a thing from our federal government. They worked hard, paid taxes, and rose from nothing to take care of and provide opportunities for their children."

"They taught their children to do the same," she added. "That's the American Dream."

"The President must apologize to both the American people and the nations he so wantonly maligned," she continued.

Love is the first Haitian-American elected to Congress. Her parents immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s.
