Border Security and Syrian Refugees
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I share the concerns of the majority of Americans regarding allowing Syrian refugees into this country. Most important, I am worried that a terrorist could slip through, just like one of the terrorists involved in Paris.
But we also can't lose sight of another vul ner a bil ity, a geographical vul ner a bil ity, our southern border, because our border is not secure. This President refuses to secure it.
Yesterday, I spoke with the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Steve McCraw, and he made it very clear that we are seeing another surge at the border. We are seeing folks from Syria come across. This is troubling and wrong.
The President must secure our border and protect our national security. If he refuses, we in this Congress must stop him by any means possible.
