That is exactly the kind of thinking we need in the executive branch. Mr. Speaker. we have an article just in from Carolyn May today: "441 Syrian Refugees Admitted to the U.S. Since the Orlando Attack. Dozens to Florida." It says: "The administration has accelerated the pace of resettlement despite warnings from top security officials about potential vulnerabilities in vetting migrants from terrorhotspots like Syria and reports that ISIS operatives have infiltrated the refugee flows. "In written testimony prepared for a Thursday hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee. CIA Director John Brennan again warned about the potential for ISIS operatives to manipulate the refugee system. as well as other immigration paths." While our CIA Director from this administration was warning the Senate here on Capitol Hill about ISIS being amongst the Syrian refugeesand ISIS leaders themselves have said. oh. yeah. we are going to have some of our killers amongst the socalled Syrian refugees. Because we dont really know where they are from. and that was pretty clear from testimony sometime back from FBI Director Comey. who said. sure. basically we will vet them. but we have no information to vet them with. Whoever they say they are. wherever they say they are from. especially if they say they are from Syria. we really dont have a good way to disprove or to prove.
