In the past few weeks, over 350 innocent people were killed at the hands of ISIS in just two terrorist attacks in Paris and on a Russian passenger jet. It would be reckless for us to not take ISIS'threats against our homeland seriously. I joined with a bipartisan and veto-proof majority in the U.S. House this past week to approve legislation pausing the acceptance of refugees until we can enact proper safeguards and background checks to fully verify their identity and intentions. I voted for this commonsense bill because I believe anything less would be irresponsible and would put American lives at risk. I have heard from many of you, but I want to know what you think.
