                    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, 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.
