House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes: ‘We Need to Pause the Refugee Program’

"The longer we don't take care of ISIS and Al Qaeda, the more that this threat will grow day-by-day."

House Intelligence Committee Chairmain Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) appeared on "Fox News Sunday" to discuss the attack on Brussels earlier this week and the potential threats facing the United States moving forward.

Nunes suggested a "pause" in the acceptance of refugees as a temporary solution to national security concerns.

"I want to be clear," he continued, "that I do believe we need to accept refugees from around the globe, especially from places that are war-torn, that have dictators."

Nunes stressed his belief that the United States should be a "beacon of light around the globe," but added that "at this point, the Congress has spoken very clearly that we need to pause on this program" in light of refugees flooding in from "potential ISIS or Al Qaeda-infested areas."
