What type of free discussion do we want to have in this country? Where are the checks and balances? Where is the willingness to listen to different views? The President also put a 4-month freeze in place on all refugees entering the United States, singling out refugees from certain Muslim- majority countries for extra screening, failing to acknowledge or speak about the thorough 18- to 24-month screening process that refugees from dangerous countries, such as Iraq and Syria, already endure before they come to our Nation. We have the toughest screening now. I am not sure what the President is talking about when he says additional screening.
