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.

How to become speaker~Must be rino boot licker.
Make him stay overtime to deal with issues. He didn’t want the position if it cut into his family time.
Wtf?
Boehner without the tan. Smh
I told every one I know this would happen. For once I was right.
I can see from the comments I have a dissenting view. I applaud Speaker for not letting the POTUS veto threat stop the House from passing the bill. It had the potential to get bogged down with amendments left and right but he got it through in record time, something we have not seen under Speaker Boehner.
Another RINO people. I knew it as I’m sure a lot of others. Why then are we forced to put up with another one? We used to be able to control our country through the ballot box. Seems we’ve lost that as well.
It is time to remove Obama in irons, he is trying to destroy our country, what other reason would he want to bring Thease people here, most of the so called refugees are male, 18 to 25 years old, scary.
it is just another so called way to devide and point a small finger act of the leftist and the sheeple follow … I commenting on the REAL story and it is his first step to rid this country of division. I am in no party because I think they are all corrupt but he brought a bill that most of the congress signed and agreed that refugee’s need to be checked into so deep we know their restroom schedule. Period
Calm down people we don’t even know if its true yet I only been in there a couple weeks
