             STOP THE RECKLESS POLICIES OF PRESIDENT OBAMA

  (Mr. BABIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in using the 
power of the purse to stop the reckless policies of President Obama 
that leave the citizens of the United States vulnerable. Americans 
overwhelmingly support this.
  The FBI, DNI, and DHS have testified that they cannot fully screen 
the thousands of refugees that the President wants to bring in from 
Syria, Somalia, Iraq, and other regions with high rates of terrorism. 
Illegal immigrants from Syria, Libya, Somalia, and other hotbeds of 
terrorism continue to test the openness of our southern border. The 
loopholes in the screening of immigrants from hotbeds of terrorism are 
being exploited, and the administration opposes closing them.
  This House has one chance, the end of the year appropriations bill, 
to end these dangerous policies.
  This Member of Congress will vote against any bill rushed to the 
floor that fails to stop these reckless policies.
  Let's put aside political correctness, criticism from foreign 
nationals that leave Americans vulnerable. This is our chance to stop 
future San Bernardinos, Parises, Chattanoogas, Garlands, and Ft. Hoods. 
The lives of these American citizens are worth it. Indeed, they cry out 
for it.
