I think we here in the Congress all understand that our first responsibility is to protect and defend the American people from all enemies. foreign and domestic. We take an oath when we are sworn in every 2 years for that purpose. The Syrian refugees are seeking safety. and the United States has a thorough vetting process for those refugees and others. We can always improve our efforts to protect the American public while at the same time providing the very humanitarian aid that is necessary. Recent terrorist attacks have led Congress to assess the current process the United States uses to grant entry to refugees who are seeking safety from their country. These are women and children. These are innocent people who have been terribly impacted by the civil war in Syria. There are camps in Jordan with over a million and a half people. and Turkey has a similar number. Of course. we see the accounts of these refugees fleeing to Europe. What do we do? We have to respond.
