House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis., joined by House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of La., meets with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015, following a GOP strategy session. Calling this a "moment where it's better to be safe than to be sorry," Speaker Ryan says there should be a "pause" in Syrian refugees coming to the U.S. in the wake of the Paris attacks, and has assembled a task force to bring legislation to a vote as soon as this week.
