CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Sen. Ted Cruz, who has said that the United States should not allow Syrian Muslim refugees into the country but should provide safe haven to fleeing Christians, plans to introduce legislation that would bar Syrian refugees from entering the country.

As it comes from Cruz the rest of the Senate would never go along with it. Besides, they would never throw a monkey wrench that would disrupt all their islamist facilitating pals in the House.

This is what needs to be done.

It needs to pass, and no reason it should not, and Obama can veto it.

Then a huge effort to find non-insane Dems to join in override should take place.

(I doubt the latter can happen, Dems are so compromised and Staliniized).

I even doubt the Reps would have the guts to pass such a bill.

But that can be done.

Young Marco Rubio couldn’t propose a Senate bill yet because he doesn’t have permission from McConnell or Chuck Schummer ...

Good for him. While others talk, Cruz does.

We should not only refuse new Middle East refugees, but we ought to examine closely the ones who are already here. How were they vetted before they gained entry? We know that the Obama administration does not care if refugees are really Muslim militants, but Americans should care what happens to our country.

It’s hard to believe we are actually watching Democrats throw themselves on THIS sword.

I’m sure it’ll easily pass and be signed into law.

Go Ted.

Ted as Trump’s Attorney general for 6 years and then going to the Supreme Court will help change America.

We can only image the rat terror in the beltway if Ted became our AG and had the backing of Trump and congress and appointed as a Supreme Court Justice.

I think something similar. Cruz and Paul should get together on this.

If they can’t pass Kate’s Law, then this too shall not pass. The coup of 2008 is spread far and wide, even in our courts.
