Noem: No more Syrian refugees until we can properly screen

Congresswoman Kristi Noem offered a statement today in the face of the crisis of a Syrian refugee participating in the attacks on Paris. It notes in part:

As we turn toward the refugee crisis, my top priority today is to protect the safety and security of Americans, which is why I believe we need to immediately suspend accepting refugees from Iraq and Syria. Our efforts to differentiate between refugees and ISIL militants aren’t foolproof. When I met with Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos in October, he shared the same concerns.  He explained that he believed the screening process could be allowing those who want to cause harm through Greece and into Europe. We know now that one of the Paris attackers may have disguised himself as a refugee to get through Greece and into Europe.  That’s a risk I’m not willing to take on American soil.
