Mr. Speaker. as a Christian. I have compassion and sympathy for the refugees in Syria. In fact. I visited with many of them in a refugee camp in Jordan. a camp that held about 120.000 Syrian refugees. We are criticized for not having compassion on this issue. Let me tell you. compassion cuts two ways. We should also be cognizant of the compassion we should show our fellow citizens here in America. That compassion is exemplified by using the good sense that God gave us in addressing this national security concern that our Nation faces. Our compassion should be. too. to make sure to the best of our abilitiesand I think that is what this legislation doesis it says we are going to use the best of our abilities that no harm comes to our fellow countrymen.
