House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX) introduced House Bill 4038, known as the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act, in the wake of the Paris bombings by members of ISIS, the radical Islamic army, and it was voted on the House floor Thursday.
The outcome was 289 – 137 in favor, including a substantial portion of Democrats who fear the wrath of the American people if they do not show some commitment to protecting the citizens of this country. However, many members of both the Republican and Democrat parties have criticized the bill as being insufficient and ineffective in keeping terrorists disguised as immigrants fleeing civil war in Syria out of the country.
The bill must still pass the Senate, and President Obama has threatened to veto the bill in spite of the bipartisan support and the desire of the American people to keep America safe. It seems that there is no situation where Obama will take the side of the American public over the desires of those outside the country.
But the bill is also a first with the new leadership of the House and could prove to be a harbinger of things to come.

Gop establishment had to have Ryan no one else would do. He does what they tell him
We knew. Business as usual and it does not bode well for US.
Anyone surprised? Really??
Emergency election should be held so they can hear from the American public. I guarantee all who go against the US people would be tossed out on their heads. Treason comes to mind for all of these officials and all should be held personally and financially accountable for their actions.
I knew he was going to stab us in the back………another wolf in sheeps clothing………………looks like we Americans are going to be on our own to save our country…………..he has no backbone either.
I come from an immigrant family from Communist Cuba and it took 5 years for the US to accept us, due to background checks, and that is who we are, not bringing these people by the thousands without papers, they should be held at Guantanamo until they are processed, you are doing the right thing for your people but our president and speaker want to force us to take in all these multitude of potential terrorists
RINO.
