I questioned this decision because we had no way of vetting these rebels. I told Secretary Kerry at the time: "America is just not buying what you are selling." Two years later. the administration has shut down the arming of Syrian rebels because it was completely ineffective. Now. the administration wants to bring in 10.000 Syrian refugees to the United States. refugees who even the Director of the FBI says cannot be fully vetted. We cannot allow this to happen Mr. Speaker. today we are going to pass a strong piece of legislation to protect the American people. The SAFE Act will ensure the highest level of scrutiny is placed on every single Syrian refugee and effectively stop this program until we can ensure Americans are protected. I believe we should do more. but this is a powerful first step to stopping dangerous terrorists from reaching our soil. The President. our Commander in Chief. the one person charged with protecting the U.S. homeland above all others has threatened to veto this bill.
