So, I just got off the phone with Governor Baylin of Missouri. He says
the plane can land in Jefferson City and that he will accept all of
the refugees, even if Florida won't. What is it?
It's too late. The plane left 10 minutes ago for Toronto. The mother,
the father, the baby can stay. Everybody else had to go.
Well, who says?
The governors. Me. I had to make a deal to keep the rest of the
governors on board.
Wh... I thought we were on the same page.
We were. We... We are. Look, they threatened to withhold Congress over
this. I had to give them something.
Tom, those people gave up everything to come here. This country made
them a promise.
Alex, they're going to Canada, not back to Syria. They'll still be
free. They'll still be safe.
Yeah, but they could be free and safe here. Governor Baylin is ready
for them.
Well, unfortunately, he's not in the majority.
No, he was standing up for an American principle. Who are we without
our principles?
Alex, it was an impossible choice. I know, and you had to make it and
you will again, a-and the choices will always be impossible. That's
not gonna change. But y-you will, and I will, and... this will. It
used to be you and me against the world.
I have an obligation to the country. I took the job!
I'm not angry with the president. I am disappointed in my husband.
Não tenho certeza se entendi o que está acontecendo. Como Tom destacou, não é como se os refugiados estivessem voltando para a Síria: eles estão indo para o Canadá. Eu entenderia a decepção de Alex se fossem governadores contra o envio de refugiados de volta. Por favor, explique a decepção. Além disso, qual princípio?
A resposta pode envolver algum pano de fundo com a política ou os EUA, dos quais eu não estou ciente, caso em que, por favor, me ilumine (eu realmente não sei muito do histórico em Pátria (2011 - presente) ). Ou pode ser que não exista uma explicação no universo (ou seja, escrita ruim?) E que a cena mencionada foi apenas para o drama (daí a tag).
