I support appropriating full funding for these strict protocols. ISIL is a global scourge that must be eradicated. Keeping America safe and eliminating ISIL will require intelligence. military. and counterterrorism coordination between the U.S. and all allies. Unfortunately. H.R. 4038 is a transparent effort to scapegoat Syrian and Iraqi refugees who have suffered immeasurably. but clearly not enough for some of my colleagues. I reject this Republican bill as another example of driving a political agenda based on willful ignorance in the face of a serious terrorist threat. Mr. Speaker. I urge my colleagues to join me in opposing H.R. 4038.
