He inherited 2 wars including the Iraq war. an unprovoked and unjustified invasion. which today is a strong contributing force to the situation that exists in Iraq and Syria. The President has led where others have only talkedhe has used soft power in an impressive and masterful way that thwarted Russia in its ambitions. and to bring Iran to the negotiation table resulting in the curbing of that nations nuclear weapon ambition. Now the Presidents work to make sure that United States remains a leader in the global community by meeting the obligation to receive refugees from Syria and Iraq. This bill is doing damage to our national interest. The American SAFE Act requires a FBI background check for every refugee from Iraq and Syria who apply for asylum in the United States. In addition. H.R. 4038 provides that no refugee from Iraq or Syria can be granted asylum in the United States unless the Director of the FBI. the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. and the Director of National Intelligence each make an independent determination and concur unanimously that the applicant for asylum poses no threat to the national security of the United States. I understand that the proponents of H.R. 4038 are responding to the legitimate apprehensions of many Americans shocked by the horror and carnage of the terrorist attacks that occurred last Friday. November 13. 2015. in Paris.
