Republican senators Ted Cruz and Jeff Sessions rebuked the Obama administration Tuesday for failing to share with Congress the immigration history of 72 people with terrorist associations living in the U.S.
The senators bashed Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry for not providing the individuals' personal and family immigration information, which was requested Aug. 12 and expected by Sept. 4.
"More than three months later the administration has not provided immigration details on a single one of the 72. It is quite telling that this administration — which seems to have unlimited resources to circumvent our immigration laws and further its executive amnesties – cannot find the time or resources to provide timely answers to these simple questions," they said in a joint statement.
The information was initially requested because a "disproportionately large" percentage of the group are foreign-born and naturalized following admission, said Cruz, of Texas, and Sessions, of Alabama. Cruz is chairman of the Senate Judiciary's Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts subcommittee. The presidential candidate is currently ranked second in the Washington Examiner's presidential power rankings.
Sessions is chairman of the Judiciary's subcommittee on Immigration and National Interest.
Tuesday's follow-up came in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris last week that have led to concerns about refugees entering the U.S. and overall national security.
"The administration must commit to answering our questions, and to ensuring the safety and security of the American people by discontinuing its dangerous resettlement policies," they said.
Obama brings in terrorists as policy.
Prove me wrong, bammy. Release all the data.
Concealing terrorists history of immigration.
Obama stands with the Muslims.
“Concealing terrorists history of immigration”
Prey tell, just how much more is needed to file articles of impeachment?
and/or Charges of Treason?
How much? The world wonders.
Conspiracy is a high crime.
He prefers Muslims over Americans.
Dont just rebuke this son of a sandturd, impeach his worthless affirmative action azz!
We don’t even know what is in Obama’s passport file.
Who would have predicted this eight years ago, except everyone here?
I blame Congress for all of this as much as I blame BO. We people on this blog know more about what’s going on than our own Congressmen. They should have begun impeachment proceedings against him years ago. They are to blame.
I agree.
The man has never told the truth about anything in his life.
He’s never been properly vetted.
No one knows anything about him.
Everything is sealed.
Why in the hell would he give up information on the people he’s importing to speed up the destruction of this country?
We don’t even know what is in Obama’s passport file.
Yes, and the only person that looked at his passport file was murdered.
Not a blog.
And IF he don't, and he Won't, what are you going to do about his treasonous ways. Perhaps arrest him and remove him from power, not impeach, just arrest and remove from power.
...and add Faisal Muhammad, the UC Merced stabber to that list.
How and when did his family come from Pakistan, and how wired in are they with terrorist groups?
He can be indicted out of office for federal offenses. The Clinton Put Defense (black jurors in DC) could be beaten by a change of venue on grounds of "excessive notoriety/polluted juror pool" to someplace like, oh, Fort Smith, Arkansas, or Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Minimal jury pool pollution there, so far out in Hickland, where nobody knows from nothin'.
