I am apoplectic that Members of the
minority party and the former President of the United States would
actually say or imply otherwise. Their comments encouraging civil
unrest and disobedience are both deplorable and unacceptable. The failed foreign policy of President Obama in Syria and the broader
Middle East has made the world more dangerous than at any time in my
lifetime and has helped to create the current refugee crisis around the
world. We are at war with ISIS, and we know they have identified and
targeted our refugee system as a point of weakness. They have already
exploited the refugee systems of nations in Europe, carrying out
terrorist attacks and killing innocent people. It would be malfeasance for our President not to take action and
immediately review our current screening process to ensure we are
helping those in need and keeping terrorists out. This temporary pause
will allow us to assess our current screening process and strengthen it
as needed.
