But what this legislation does is requires that the 5yearold Syrian girl that has lived most of her life in a Jordanian camp must be certified by four or five individuals who are already in the process of the certification. There are 60 million individuals who are displaced across the globe now. Twenty percent of them are Syrians fleeing the conflict that has taken 240.000 lives. Right now the FBI has 50 terrorist cells being investigated. They cannot count them as Syrian refugees. This is the wrong direction. Let us follow our values. Mr. Speaker. Vote that bill down and bring refugees who are already certified. This bill is unnecessary. It stops the refugee program. Where is our mercy?
