If adopted. the bill will immediately proceed to final passage. as amended. Mr. Speaker. my motion to recommit will do several things: The first thing it will do is require the Secretary of Homeland Security to verify the identity of refugee applicants. Any application that contains insufficient. conflicting. or unreliable information would be denied. The second point of my motion to recommit is that this motion will require at least five Federal agenciesthe Department of Homeland Security. the Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. the Secretary of State. the Secretary of Defense. the Director of National Intelligenceall together to check refugee applicants against their records. Any application that indicates a national security or criminal threat would be denied. In addition. Mr. Speaker. my motion would also require that the Secretary of Homeland Security would certify that all relevant Federal immigration laws have been complied with and that the applicant has not been resettled in a safe thirdparty country. and has the Department of Homeland Security inspector generals review as a sample of the certifications. Fourthly. Mr. Speaker. my motion to recommit would require the Department of Homeland Security inspector general to submit monthly reports to Congress on refugee applications from Syria and Iraq. The Secure Refugee Process Act of 2015 is a prosecurity. procompassion bill that would ensure the U.S. continues to maintain the most extensive interagency security screening process in the world to vet all people who seek safe harbor in our great Nation. Mr. Speaker. the people we are talking about in this particular motion really dont have a country.
