Back in November, 2115, the House passed the SAFE Act, mandating an increase in security checks for Syrian refugees. It would have required, from top US security officials, personal guarantees that the Syrian refugees who were being resettled in the United States did not pose a terrorist threat.
The Senate blocked the bill, as there was not enough support for a procedural vote. The bill received 55 votes, but needed 60 to proceed.
Top Democrat lawmakers believed the requirements would “incapacitate” the US security framework already in place, even more than as ISIS terrorist attack ever could. Other Democrats called the Republican supported bill as a “xenophobic attack on President Obama’s refugee policy.
One would think, after the much publicized immigrant rape epidemic spreading across Europe, that lawmakers would put politics aside and recognize that HR 4038 is not xenophobic but pro-American safety. Read more on the following page on the blocked bill meant to put precautions in place.
And the establishment wonders why Trump is so popular.
Really? Do really want the same problems that Germany, Belgium, France are facing?
Harry Reid and Democrats did it again shameful
Democrats want to make all Americans their slaves
Do you mean no to the bill
People, I have one question…How is it that the Democrats can block a bill in the Senate, but the Republicans couldn’t block block a short field goal with a 10 story building? Don’t get played…nothing was blocked, it was designed to fail by both parties.
Every single position in a government should have term limits. Considering how Congress and the Senate hold most of the power anyhow.
Ah the treasonist US SENATE.. Looking to sell US sovereignty..
Hhhmmm… sounds like the FOX are in charge of the HEN house!
This is the reason why we , All, have to stand united & vote ALL encumbents OUT & vote for Term Limits & GET OUR COUNTRY BACK !!!!!!!!!
