A government official has finally put the safety and welfare of American citizens over whom he has stewardship above concern for Middle East refugees who may, in fact, be Muslim terrorists. Glen Casada, state representative from Tennessee, has asked for the National Guard to be called out to stem the flow of Syrian refugees into Tennessee.
He has also suggested that refugees who have already been settled in the state be re-vetted to ensure that they are not members of Muslim terrorist groups waiting for an opportune moment to launch an attack, much as the Muslim husband and wife couple did a few weeks ago in San Bernardino.
When Donald Trump recently suggested that the immigration program for Syrian refugees be stopped until the U.S. immigration service could guarantee that Muslim immigrants were not, in fact, part of a terrorist cell, many politicians were inflamed.
First and foremost was President Barack Obama, who suggested that Americans who felt the same way were Islamophobes and bigots, and he indicated he would ignore the concerns of American citizens and would, in fact, increase the number of refugees that would be let in.
He also said that the states had no control over the program of how many or where refugees would be located to. Finally, it was discovered that the financial burden of these immigrants would be thrown upon the states, all of this while ignoring U.S. immigration officials who admitted that they had no means of accurately vetting the incoming migrants.
State representative takes on Obama:
Good idea
THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

“14 years ago, I had a President who was certainly neither the brightest crayon in the box nor the most eloquent.
He didn’t fill everyone’s ears with shi* they wanted to hear. He made mistakes, as all leaders do, but he owned up to them.
14 years ago, I had a President who made me proud to take the Oath of Enlistment.
14 years ago, I had a President who shared the sorrow of the nation instead of blaming the nation for the heinous deeds of others.
14 years ago, I had a President who never let the people forget he was one of them, instead of setting himself aside and higher than the people he swore to serve.
14 years ago, I had a President who was proud to be an American and who shared that pride with the people.
Today, I have an eloquent but petulant schoolchild pretending to be a leader.
On the worst day in American history since Pearl Harbor, I had a President who told the world that America will not bow down.
Today, I have a charlatan snake oil salesman who bows to my enemies.
But 14 years ago, I had a President.”
Steven norris, Right on brother!
Good for him! I was hoping our governor would stand up and not back down!
Gang of Eight (immigration)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Gang of Eight (disambiguation).
The Gang of Eight is a common colloquial term for the bi-partisan group of eight Senators writing the 2013 comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) bill. The group has also been instrumental in bringing Comprehensive Immigration Reform back to the legislative branch in the spring of 2013.[1]
Collectively, these eight senators wrote the first draft of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, commonly known as “the immigration bill.”[2]
Members
In the context of proposed immigration reform, The Gang of Eight are four Democratic senators and four Republican senators:[3]
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO
Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-IL
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC
Sen. John McCain, R-AZ
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-NJ
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY[4]
Policies
The policies envisioned by the Senators include the following provisions:[5]
A citizenship path for undocumented immigrants already in the United States contingent on certain border security and visa tracking improvements. The plan provides for permanent residence for undocumented immigrants only after legal immigrants waiting for a current priority date receive their permanent residence status and a different citizenship path for agricultural workers through an agricultural worker program.
Business immigration system reforms, focusing on reducing current visa backlogs and fast tracking permanent residence for U.S. university immigrant graduates with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math also known as the STEM fields.
An expanded and improved employment verification system for all employers to confirm employee work authorization.
Improved work visa options for low-skilled workers including an agricultural worker program.
It won’t work obama and Paul Ryan are running things in this country. They are equal partners in destroying this country.
