Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., disputed Secretary of State John Kerry’s assertion that the refugee application process for Muslims does not put Americans in greater danger than accepting any other group, during an interview on Fox News’ “Your World.”

Almost all of those were from Islamic countries,” Sessions said. “We know that Syria, in particular, the European investigators and law enforcement are saying that two groups are moving into Brussels, Belgium.”
