That’s cool.

They can just go to a nation that ISN’T controlled by them.....where they will obtain the status of “happy no harm to us” Muslims?

You don’t invite millions of able body Germans into your country as refugees while you’re fighting Germans during WW2. That’s crazy
Those who think its okay, must not think we’re at war with Syria. Its just playing at war

There should be a moratorium on ALL immigration until we can fix the mess we’re in.

We're not. We're not at war with a country, we're at war with an ideology. An ideology of aggressively violent opposition against others that crosses many borders. And who practices this ideology? Muslims. Well, you could argue that there are terrorists in northern Ireland and some in Africa that aren't Muslims, but come on, who is the actual threat?

So who do they want to let in? Yup. It's like they either don't think we're at war with militant Islam (they don't) or their okay with innocent people dying as long as they can score some outrage points along the way (they are).

A nothing burger. You are exactly right.

A case of Me Too Ted, with a proposal full of deadly holes, without a shred of beef? Seriously, was this all he offered in the senate today?

What Cruz said and that you point out, is exactly how ISIS barbarians have been navigating throughout Europe!

Look at the hell this policy has brought them. It’s an embarrassment, actually, to the serious Americans who want a full moratorium on ALL countries, until we see loop holes closed, and quit *reacting* but get pro-active.

Nice of Cruz to give ISIS a heads up as to which countries to not sneak in from. That’s why Trump’s hard line makes sense.

Place a ban on Muslims until the Second Coming.

Kick all the ones here out now, along with those from south of our border who didn’t even ring the doorbell.

Well, NO KIDDING!

I believe he should have quit trying to straddle the razor wire on this one, if he can’t be serious with national security. This bright idea is fodder for jokes and punch lines.

Thanks, 30.

Mitch guarantees it never gets out of committee without umpty dozen riders.

Press announcements of “I’m gonna...” seldom pan out the way described and sad to say Cruz is png in the senate.

Here is a story from December 2014 about Syrian refugees coming to the US.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-to-greatly-expand-resettlement-for-syrian-refugees/2014/09/30/8adaf1e4-48ef-11e4-b72e-d60a9229cc10_story.html

Why is Ted proposing this in December of 2015?

Most everyone on FR could have told him in 2014 that it was not a good idea to take them in.

Terrorists are all throughout the EU so how will this bill make any difference. Just a show to make the unthinking feel something is being done.

So why did Trump on Sep. 9th, 2015 say that we have to take in Syrian refugees.

Trump calls for taking in Syrian refugees
