| Description | Sen. Rand Paul isn't just for blocking Syrian refugees from entering the country on security concerns -- he says the U.S. should apply more screening to all French citizens, students and visitors.
The presidential candidate told Fox News' Jenna Lee on Wednesday that the U.S. is vulnerable to terrorists coming into the country in a variety of ways, not just as refugees, and that the nation should respond.
"I think our biggest entry for those who would attack us is coming to visit, basically, coming as a refugee or coming as a visitor or coming as a student," Paul said, saying the U.S. welcomes 150,000 students from the Middle East per year. "We also have to be concerned about French citizens coming here. Most of the people involved in the attack, I think, are going to turn out to be French citizens. ... I would stop that. I would say nobody comes unless they're part of Global Entry." |
