This proposal authorizes a new office charged with helping communities across the countryMuslim communities across the countrystop their young people from being recruited by ISIS. The legislative proposal would also create a grant program that would help the Department of Homeland Security connect with nonprofits. with local officials. with religious leaders and youth groups to work together to counter the narratives proffered by terrorist groups like ISIS. If you look in recent years at the folks in this country who are inspired by ISIS to commit terrorist activities against those of us in this country. you will not find them having come over embedded. to my knowledge. with any refugee organization or any refugee group. The biggest threat to us is not necessarily the people coming through on the Visa Waiver Program. student visa programs. or tourist visa programs. The biggest threat to our security is from folks who in many cases were born here or in some cases folks who could have come from Syria. Iraq. or some other place. but they became radicalized after coming heremaybe after becoming a citizen here.
