Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi joined freshman U.S. Rep. Darren Soto in Kissimmee on Monday morning, meeting with college students on immigration and vowing to fight the president's travel ban.

“We’re putting together a bill to overturn the ban that the president has instituted," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said during the roundtable discussion led by Soto at Valencia College's Osceola Campus.

“The last 24 hours have been very eventful... but we have to protect our constitution and our values as well, and we can do both," she said.

The lawmakers were all ears as current and former students shared their fears when it comes to how immigration affects their pursuit of a higher education.

“I think it’s a scary thing to think about, for the power to fall into the hands of leaders who may not be able to empathize with other people’s situations," said Isaac Valdiviezo, who recently graduated from Valencia College and now attends UCF through the Valencia Direct Connect program.

"I have fears for families who may be disbanded for parents who may be sent back or dreams crushed," he said.

Protecting the DREAM Act, studying abroad and being able to pass a government security clearance were also topics discussed at length.

Both Pelosi and Soto plan to protest the refugee ban on the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. later Monday night.

“Those of us who would turn away refugees are un-Christian. His holiness Pope Francis said that," Pelosi said.

"I do believe that the actions taken by the president were unconstitutional, and that’s why we’re supporting the amicus brief in the ACLU’s case, however, far up that may go in the court and that we are moving to overturn the ban," she said.

Soto, who is also a lawyer, said he was more than willing to advocate on the behalf of immigrants at the Orlando International Airport on Sunday night.

“It’s a matter of making sure that the court order is enforced and to work with our courts to make sure that we don’t have people turned away that shouldn’t be.”

Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio released a statement regarding the president’s executive order, which imposes a 90-day ban citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries -- Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen -- from entering the U.S.

Rubio said he generally supports additional vetting, "but given the broad scope and nature of these policy changes, we have some unanswered questions and concerns.”
