Cardin: We Can Do a Better Job Vetting Immigrants

EXCERPT:

CARDIN: "Well that's -- that's very clear that if you look at the refugee population, they are less likely to commit terrorist activities than the general population. Does that mean we can't do a better job of vetting? No. We can do more a thorough job of vetting those who come to this country. But we also have to rely on intelligence information and we need to deal with people in our own community. We need to have a comprehensive plan to keep Americans safe against terrorist activities. But to say that let's block refugees from coming into this country or visitors from coming here, that will not make America safer. And it's really not targeting at the real problem."
