McCaul: Once Refugees Are Here, They ‘Have the Potential to Self-Radicalize and Kill Americans’

‘I think that is the core of the problem and the issue — If somebody comes in and they pass the screening test ... once they are here, can they self-radicalize or do they have more of a propensity to do so?

McCAUL: "I think that is the core of the problem and the issue. If somebody comes in and they pass the screening test, which I think needs to be ramped up, once they are here, can they self-radicalize or do they have more of a propensity to do so? We saw that in case after case. The Syrian population — I introduced a bill to stop the flow of Syrian refugees into the United States, because of what I saw to be a high risk factor of not only terrorists coming in, which is what the secretary of Homeland warned about and FBI, but the idea that once they are here, they have the potential to self-radicalize and kill Americans."
