Many of them have been tortured. The women have been raped. The children. for lack of a better term. are destitute. We are a Nation of values. My bill speaks to those values. It does not pause the process. It does not create a moratorium on the process. It adds an additional layer of security without stopping the refugee program. It is not an immigration bill. It is a refugee program. As I said earlier. we had 23.000 individuals apply for status under this particular program who were Iraqi or Syrian citizens. Of that number. 7.000 received interviews. Of that number. around 2.000 were approved.
