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.
Need to clean house for all those jokers…smh

Lawmakers that vote against bills like this should face charges if something happens to the American people because of their inaction to keep people safe. American people come before politics…..
Our elected officials (particularly democrats) are going against the will of the people!
Call your congressmen.
Are you fn kidding me
Democrats hate America. Another Obama victory against security. Lock and load.
Democrats are pure evil. JFK wouldn’t even recognise them today.
Penny that’s false. The vote faoled to pass because a bill in the Senate requires 60 votes to pass cloture. There are not 60 republicans. And that is why the bill failed to pass. All of the anti-American democrats voted against it. Without 4 democrats the republicans are unable to pass anything
If the House would cut off funding for some of the wasteful spending the Senate wants, things might go better.
