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:
News flash …. No defiance , anywhere … 3 branches of government and our House and Senate are way overdue , listening to “We the people” , in putting this fraud and liar in a headlock and letting him continue to show the world what an incompetent charlatan he is …. “Popping off” as he would phrase it , in such a hilarious , childish way …. Keep it up Barry Hussein sotero-bozo !
dont need 2/3 only need 7 dems in the senate to side with the bill to make it veto proof.2/3 to change a law
Way to go congress about time you got somethang right !
He’s bringing them in any way.
When did the government forget they r supposed to work for us. American people! Start listening to American people or American people start impeaching and vote in new!
every terroist arrested in america has been a refugee
Whoops……I see a hissy ft coming from the pansy-in-chief
Wouldn’t that make the vote roughly 2/3rd of the Senate?
Reid blocked it in the Senate didn’t he?
We are not “turning away refugees because of their religion”.
We are turning away a religion based upon their actions.
Citizens want to turn away refugees, because our government is unwilling to set up a viable verification program.
