Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer says the Syrian refugee program should be suspended while the U.S. reviews its procedures.
The issue has taken on new urgency in wake of revelations that at least one of the terrorists in the deadly attacks in Paris entered France among Syrian refugees. . .

Fischer says the United States must change its tactics against the Islamic State.
She says the current strategy by the Obama Administration has had no effect on ISIL. . .

Fischer says there will be more attacks until ISIL is eliminated.
