One of the GOP's rising stars took a veiled shot at Donald Trump in her big State of the Union response
Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants and the first minority governor in South Carolina's history, said Americans can't succumb to the angriest voices "during anxious times."
"Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory," she said. "During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation."
"No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country," she continued. "At the same time, that does not mean we just flat out open our borders. We can't do that. We cannot continue to allow immigrants to come here illegally. And in this age of terrorism, we must not let in refugees whose intentions cannot be determined."
Many observers viewed that portion of the response as a direct shot at Trump, who has proposed building a wall along the US-Mexico border and temporarily banning Muslim tourists and immigrants from entering the US, among other things.
Haley's response was well received by party leaders.
