House Speaker Paul Ryan called out President Barack Obama for his threat to veto a bill that would put a pause on Syrian refugees coming to the United States.

Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News Wednesday, Ryan called it “remarkably unpresidential” to threaten to veto the bill.

“I think the president is playing politics with this. We obviously know that ISIS wants to infiltrate the refugee population[.] … This should be about keeping America safe.”

Ryan believes that refugees coming into the United States need to go through additional security checks before being let into the country.

He said the House bill would “raise the standards” on checking refugee applicants’ claims.

“If we can’t verify a person’s claims, then they can’t come.”

“We need to put a pause on this program and have higher standards placed upon it so that we can verify on a person by person basis each and every single refugee.”

Ryan also mentioned that he does not want to defund the refugee program.

“We’re a compassionate country. The refugee laws are important laws,” he said. “We don’t want terrorists to dictate whether we have a law or not.”

After the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, claimed credit for the recent attacks in Paris, lawmakers brought attention to the United States’ refugee program.

A Syrian passport was found near one of the Paris terrorists that made it seem he pretended to be a refugee applicant.

In response, many United States governors have called to shut their doors to Syrian refugees trying to come to their states.

“The reason we’re having this conversation about refugees,” said Ryan, “the reason we’re having this conversation about ISIS, is because we don’t have a plan to defeat ISIS.”

Ryan said the president’s foreign policy is “lacking” and that Obama does not “have a strategy to defeat ISIS.”

The bill is to be voted on today.

“This is not a partisan issue. The Democrats agree with us here in Congress.” Ryan said. “We’re passing this bill tomorrow.”
