U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
[From article]
The terror attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee carried out by an Islamic immigrant from Kuwait has cast new attention on the inability of the United States to properly screen the 100,000 Middle Eastern immigrants added to the United States each year, as well as the tens of thousands of additional Muslim youth admitted as foreign students.
In a comprehensive statement on the attack issued today, Senator
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) Chairman of the Senate Committee on Immigration and the National Interest, explained why this incident, and many others like it, demand new immigration controls: “The events described above do not occur in isolation but are often part of broader networks, groups, and pockets of radicalization made possible by unwise immigration policy.”
Sessions listed a number of recent attacks carried out by immigrants voluntarily imported into the United States:

Based on these events, Sessions called for immigration curbs and a new emphasis on screening immigrants based on their capacity to assimilate. Broadening his critique, Sessions referenced Calvin Coolidge in explaining why he felt compassion and moderation demanded lower immigration levels after the four-decade immigration explosion experienced since 1970. Sessions’ push for immigration curbs contrasts with the push led by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to triple the already historic admission of one million immigrants each year.

Sessions writes:
We should not admit people in larger numbers than we can reasonably expect to vet, assimilate, and absorb into our schools, communities, and labor markets. It is not compassionate but uncaring to bring in so many people that there are not enough jobs for them or the people already here. As Coolidge said: “We want to keep wages and living conditions good for everyone who is now here or who may come here.”

USCIS council President Ken Palinkas [. . .] declared: it is essential to warn the public about the threat that ISIS will exploit our loose and lax visa policies to gain entry to the United States… There is no doubt that there are already many individuals in the United States, on visas—expired or active—who are being targeted for radicalization or who already subscribe to radicalized views… Many millions come legally to the U.S. through our wide open immigration policy every year—whether as temporary visitors, lifetime immigrants, refugees, asylum-seekers, foreign students, or recipients of our “visa waiver program”… Our government cannot effectively track these foreign visitors and immigrants…
