These are very real threats. In the House. we have been taking decisive action. We have already passed a bill to address the problems of the lack of vetting in the refugee program. a program that ISIS. itself. has said it plans to exploit in order to bring terrorists into America. The FBI Director has even confirmed those concerns that we have expressed. and we have passed legislation to address that. Today. Mr. Speaker. we are bringing forth strong. bipartisan legislation to reform the troubled Visa Waiver Program. We have seen that thousands of people with Western passports. including from the Visa Waiver Program nations. have been going to some of the troubled regions. like Syria. like Iraq. like other countries. There ought to be a higher level of scrutiny. This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to work with those nations in order to have a higher level of scrutiny so as to ultimately lead to a more secure United States of America.
