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.
They don’t care about U.S. citizens any longer.
Funny its mosty a republican sentient and the GOP blocks everything from happening and you shitbags always blame the dems and Obama
Sorry$#%&!@*pos people
I’m glad the bill didn’t pass. Our Americans that worked all of their lives putting money into Social Security didn’t get a raise this year, why give to the refugees and not the seniors that can’t afford both their food and medicine?
Obama is a goat humping muslim
Most Republicans care about our security, that’s why the bill passed overwhelming in the House, but Democrats blocked the bill with an admendment that would have to forced Rep. Senators to go on the record and vote on Donald Trumps’ controversial plan to ban all Muslims from coming to the U.S. That’s how sneaky and horrible the Democrats are, they just care about getting new people here for votes, doesn’t matter how or the consequences
Lawrence Sceurman they are one in the same
