Our success will not only rob them of their safe haven but will also undercut their recruitment narrative that ISIS is on the rise. But in addition to destroying ISIS overseas. we must also focus on defeating the threat of ISIS here at home. I realize that many Americans and many of our colleagues are concerned about terrorists traveling to our borders as refugees from Syria or maybe some other country. As many of my colleagues may recall. late last year we debated the question regarding the resettlement of 4 million Syrian refugees and whether we in this country should open our doors to even a small fraction of them. We debated it right here on the Senate floor. as some of you recall. and we debated it in our committees. including the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. where I serve as the senior Democrat. During that debate.
