‘Useful Tool’: Chair of House Homeland Security Committee Echoes Call to Screen Immigrants’ Social Media | TheBlaze.com:

“This legislation adds an important and necessary layer of screening that will go a long way in properly vetting the online activities of those wishing to enter the United States,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the chairman of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement provided to TheBlaze. “A simple check of social media accounts of foreign travelers and visa applicants will help ensure that those who have participated in, pledged allegiance to, or communicated with terrorist organizations cannot enter the United States.”
