Congressman Stephen Lynch on Boston Public Radio 12/01/15

Earlier this month, 47 democrats in the house of representatives defied a house veto threat by backing a GOP bill to ramp up screening requirements for Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Congressman Stephen Lynch was among them. He joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan on Boston Public Radio to discuss the reasoning behind his vote and other congressional matters.

Questions are paraphrased, and responses are edited where noted [...].

MARGERY: Lets start with the vote on the Syrian refugees. Why were you with those 47 other democrats?

Its a very simple bill, I know that its got subsumed within a larger discussion about immigration policy, but basically, the bill we voted on was a very short bill four pages in length, basically, and it said that the director of national security shall review the vetting process as being conducted by both the FBI and the department of homeland security. Because of the disastrous results we have had so far with the screening process, especially the department of homeland security, I think it was a very good idea to have another set of eyeballs looking at that process.

Back in August, we did an investigation,the inspector General did, of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that. Then we went further and did and eight-airport investigation. We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports.

I wonder why the media didn't HEADLINE this, and report it constantly like they do to take down Trump?

This is beyond a breach of national security.

Complicity. Plain and simple. The MSM are enemies of the people.

The very people whose duty it is to vet incoming Americans are on visas are sympathetic, if not the enemy, have infiltrated. This needs to stop, now!
