Under the rules of the Senate. they are free to offer suggestions. by way of amendment. about how we can improve the legislation. I have heard a number of them. including from the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Senator FEINSTEIN. among others. who said that what she would like to see us do is to beef up our protections to prevent people from exploiting the visa waiver system and coming into the United States without going through an adequate screening mechanism. I think there would be a lot of support on this side of the aisle and on a bipartisan basis to modify this legislation to include some of her ideas. At least we ought to have that debate. We shouldnt shut it down by a filibuster on the other side. This bill would ensure that the FBI and other national security intelligence agencies have actually certified to the security of the refugee screening program. It is called accountabilitysomething that people dont think we have enough of here in Washington. DC.
