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 yet we as Americans have to endure TSA at airports , NSA wiretaps , warrantless searches , etc. Crazy
That’s what they are there for, right? (Sarcasm)
WTF??
Whose side are these Senators on?
Lock and load patriots. About all that may be left
You need to know and remember this, democrats no matter what they say when elections roll around, vote together. They will willingly compromise your safety and welfare to be politically correct.
I had to have an extensive FBI check to become an EMT in my own country but we allow foreigners (possible terrorist sympathizers) to cross the welcome mat with minimal consideration of they’re reasons for wanting to be here. Thank you to the Senate for continuing to prove that you are useless when it comes to caring about protecting our country. I hope you are each going to house a few refugees. No? Shocking.
Amazing the people that do not understand this!
Vote on someone new nextime you vote. To the hell with the same old$#%&!@*over and over.
What are they thinking
