Speech #1140064076

The Congress could consult and work with the administration. including Homeland Security. the State Department. the national intelligence agencies. and the FBI. to identify and discuss areas where enhancements can be made. But that is not what the authors of this bill did. And it is clear that it wasnt their intention either. What H.R. 4038 would actually "achieve" is the creation of a socalled process that would shut down all refugee resettlement from Syria and Iraq. It is not meant to make things better. It is meant to make it completely unworkable. Nothing in this bill actually improves the FBIs or any other intelligence agencys ability to conduct a more effective screening process.
