STOP THE FLOW OF SYRIAN REFUGEES; Congressional Record Vol. 161, No. 169

<!-- -->

STOP THE FLOW OF SYRIAN REFUGEES

(Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address

the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, President Obama needs to stop

immediately any flow of Syrian refugees into America. Top law

enforcement officials have made it clear: We don't know who these

people are, and we don't have the capability to vet them. With last

Friday's ISIS attacks in Paris that did include a Syrian refugee, this

halt is imperative.

We cannot allow terrorism to slip through the cracks. That is why I

am a cosponsor of \[H.R. 3314\](https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/3314), a bill to stop the admission of refugees

into the United States. We must do all we can to protect our homeland.

Stopping these people from coming here is the right and commonsense

thing to do.

Mr. Speaker, the President has a duty to protect America. If he

doesn't stop risking our security, then we in Congress must make him

stop.
