Susan Collins actually said...
So if we allowed asylum seekers to work after 1 month vetting period as long as they entered through a legal port of entry, 1 month would give us time to do an initial background check to make sure they weren't on the terrorist watch list, for example, and to verify their identities, why couldn't we change the law and have a win-win situation here?
Context
Collins advocates for a law change to allow asylum seekers to work sooner.
