Julia Hahn writing at Breitbart tells us what happened here.
If yours is one of the brave ten be sure to thank them! (They are mentioned in Hahn's story below but I put them right here on top so you wouldn't have to look far).
Rand Paul Jeff Sessions Mike Lee David Vitter John Barrasso Mike Enzi Mark Kirk Jerry Moran Richard Shelby Ted Cruz
After Paris and after San Bernardino this is the best they could do--only ten willing to go to the mat for your safety!
The amendment, offered Sen. Rand Paul, would have suspended visa issuances to more than 30 Muslim countries with active Jihadist populations. Graham and Rubio were both members of the Gang of Eight, which proposed legislation that would expand Muslim immigration, and Paul and Cruz were both opponents of the Gang of Eight bill.
Graham and Rubio's vote against curbing Muslim migration follows the attack in San Bernardino. The male suspect, Syed Farook, is the son of Pakistani immigrants; and the female suspect, Farook's wife, Tashfeen Malik, was a Pakistani native. According to CNN, the two met, "when he [Farook] had gone to Saudi Arabia in 2013 on the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca that Muslims are required to take at last once in their lifetime. It was during this trip that he met Malik, a native of Pakistan who came to the United States in July 2014 on a 'fiancée visa' and later became a lawful permanent resident."
Sen. Paul's amendment failed 89-10, with only nine other Senators joining Paul's bid for a halt to the large-scale distribution of visas to nations with jihadist populations. The nine others supporting Paul's amendment were Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), and Senator Ted Cruz.
Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Republican Whip Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and GOP Conference Chair Sen. John Thune (R-SD) voted against the amendment. Thune's vote is particularly notable as the GOP conference is in charge of the Republican Party's messaging in the Senate.
Go here for the rest of the story (there is a lot more information). Readers Rubio is never going to be your friend on immigration issues!

Sens. Rubio, Graham Vote To Continue Muslim Immigration From Countries With Jihadist Movements
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3368195/posts
Li’l Ruby voted to import terrorists. He is unfit to be president.
It looks like Senator Cassidy, who ran as Ronald Reagan Jr., did not appear on the list.
Dondi is an immigration Trojan Horse who is owned by crony capitalist interests. If he becomes POTUS, the flood of illegals and visa holders will continue, and even increase in some instances.
Only 10 of 100 US Senators are on the side of the citizens.
Time to Cantorize a bunch of them in this next election.
So, out of 100 senators only 10 are sane. Sigh.
Ruby says the amendment was bad because it would have prevented a German businessman from traveling to the USA and then he went on to say that we don’t know who’s coming into our country because our vetting process is flawed and, besides that, we just don’t know what any visitor might do after coming here. But the amendment was bad because it was too broad in scope. What we used to call a circular argument.
Lest anyone forget, had it become law, the Gang of Eight amnesty plot crafted by Rubio would have given Obama blanket authority today to admit as many Syrian Muslim refugees as he wants with no background checks.
This from the Breitbart article by Julia Hahn:
Rubio also co-authored the 2013 La-Raza backed amnesty and immigration expansion plan. Conservative Review's Daniel Horowitz has detailed:
Rubio's [2013] Bill Would Have Opened Floodgates to Islamic Refugees". Horowitz explained that the bill would have, "dramatically weakened the precautions against fraudulent asylum petitions by, among other things, eliminating the time constraints on filing those applications... [and] in totality... would have created endless avenues for this president to bring in an unlimited numbers of Islamic immigrants from the most volatile corners of the world.Sens. Rubio, Graham Vote To Continue Muslim Immigration From Countries With Jihadist Movements
Amen. Floods of illegal & legal aliens over the past 50 years are how the ‘RATS have destroyed the USA, particularly the with the Mexicans and now the Muzzies & everyone else. Get them on govt. handouts as quickly as possible and make them future ‘RAT voters. The crony capitalists get the cheap labor, replace American workers (even in high tech), and drive down wages. And the Huge Government Appropriators Uniparty b@st@rds such as Dondi get wheelbarrows full of campaign cash. It’s normal Americans who get a**-f*****.
So let them all in because “what difference does it make?”
