It is this body's obligation to pursue policies that help prevent and
recover from terrorist attacks. It is a responsibility I am privileged
to share as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee
on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications. The alleged perpetrator came to our country legally using the
Diversity Immigrant Visa program. As a matter of security and
commonsense, an immigration system that selects winners like a game of
bingo should end. I also ask that Congress consider the bipartisan STOP Act,
legislation I proposed with Mr. Espaillat from New York to help local
jurisdictions install protective bollards in areas with high pedestrian
traffic.
