Rep. Black: US Should Suspend Refugee Resettlement Program

Expressing her sympathy and support for the victims of Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Brussels, Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) called for a “suspension of our refugee resettlement program until glaring security gaps can be fully addressed.

“While much is still unknown about today’s attack in Brussels, it has all the markings of radical Islamic terrorism and should be treated accordingly,” Black said in a statement to CNSNews.com.

“[My husband] Dave and I join the many who are searching for answers today and praying for the victims of this heinous attack.

“This tragedy is a sobering reminder of our responsibility here in the United States to keep terrorism from reaching our shores. I continue to believe this requires a full-scale assault on ISIS and a suspension of our refugee resettlement program until glaring security gaps can be fully addressed.”

"My heart goes out to all those who were killed and injured in this morning’s horrific terrorist attacks in Brussels,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said in a statement to CNSNews.com.

“An attack like this is an attack on all of western civilization, a truth highlighted by the fact that three missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were injured in the blasts. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and everyone touched by this tragedy."
