After news broke last week that two of the Paris gunmen traveled into the EU through Greece’s refugee program, many states scrambled to shore up the security holes in their own programs. Not Obama. He think his own program is just fine, thank you very much, and he’s not letting anyone change it.
This news is in response to a Republican drafted bill that would impose stricter scrutiny on the Syrian immigrants Obama is bringing into this country. What the legislation didn’t do, it’s important to note, is change the number of refugees America is accepting. It simply makes the vetting process more thorough, more accountable, and more safe. This bi-partisan “win-win” of sorts is proven by the vast majority with which the legislation passed. Republicans and Democrats alike got behind the bill, and sent it forth with 2/3rds of the chamber in agreement.
Regardless, Obama refuses to let anyone investigate the people he’s trying to bring in. It’s an odd stance to have, considering one would assume he’d like the American people to think the Syrians he’s shipping to U.S. have sterling reputations. Maybe the problem is that they do not.
As such, he’s formally threatened a veto, and it’s up to the Senate to overcome his action.
See what the Senate leaders have to say on the next page:
Why is this traitor still in office? I just can’t figure it out.
Arrest him for crimes against America and humanity!
AMEN to that
What sucks is that this bill is doomed to be either filibustered in the Senate or vetoed in the White House, and we lack the two thirds majority necessary to overrule said veto.
Good! They can help us.. there are millions of people in America being forced into institutions because they can’t afford to hire help. Free homes for free help. All those disabled war vets could take in a refugee so they can keep their independence.
No it doesn’t.
Now Harry Reid will filibuster it so it won’t reach the presidents desk!
They have the numbers to override his veto.
Mr. President: I come from an immigrant family from Communist Cuba and it took 5 years suffering oppression for the US to accept us, due to background checks and once we got here we were on our own we got no housing or welfare, and that is who we are, not bringing these people by the thousands without papers, they should be held at Guantanamo until they are processed, now you want to force us to take in all these multitude of potential terrorists! No Mr President, unacceptable
