Speech #1140073108

I wish to tell my friend from Virginia. who has been on this topic for some time. that I think there are some practical impediments to what the Senator is suggesting. and maybe we can find a way to work together to address them. First of all. there is the question of what is the strategy. I think Congress is reluctant to issue an additional authorization for the use of military force until we know what the Presidents strategy is. not just in Syria. in Iraq. but also with the travel and the movement of people back and forth from those wartorn countries to the United States or to other parts of the world. including the visa waiver countriesthe 38 of thempeople who can travel freely from that area to those visa waiver countries and then come to the United States. The third part of it. which we have been addressing and which the FBI Director has brought to our attention on the Senate Judiciary Committee. has to do with radicalization of people back here at home through the use of social media or the Internet. I would say to my friend that this is a serious problem. and I find myself in sympathy with what he is trying to do.
