Crisis of Confidence: Preventing Terrorist Infiltration through U.S. Refugee and Visa Programs
February 3, 2016 10:00 AM | 311 Cannon House Office Building
Terrorists have continually exploited weaknesses in our nation’s visa and refugee process as a means to gain access to the country. From 9/11 to San Bernardino and the recent case of Iraqi refugees in Houston and California, it is clear that government officials must do more to prevent terrorists from exploiting American hospitality. This hearing will explore ways to further strengthen visa and refugee security.
