Schumer: Refugee pause may be necessary
The Hill ^ | November 17, 2015 | By Alexander Bolton

Posted on 11/17/2015 2:38:41 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the third ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, on Tuesday said it may be necessary to halt the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the United States.

Republicans immediately seized on Schumer's comment, which breaks with other Democrats who have argued against halting the program.

Schumer knows what a terrorist attack looks like up close.

He probably thinks we should pause until after the election.

Schumer must be getting an earful from New Yorkers.

On Fox and Friends Steve D. was talking about the [?] 24 coordinated attacks [Paris had 3 coordinated attacks] that the government is preparing for.

Wow schumer is breaking with Obama on this???

This refugee issue could really see a number of Democrats abandon Obama. Obama is adamant that we take these people.in. we will see what happens.

If a handful of other Democrat senators don’t agree with the force feeding of refugees, there could be enough votes in the Senate to pass a bill.banning these refugees; to overcome a filibuster and get a bill to the president’s desk.

Obama would veto such a bill, but let’s have that debate and put everyone on record where they stand.

A BIG fat rat, who will lead the Senate Democrats when the current BIG fat rat scurries back to Searchlight, Nevada.

I hate to be a spoiler here but as long as we can go from state to state freely who cares how many states refuse to take them?

They can just go wherever they want.

The only thing that would help is 100% cooperation and that will not happen.

This isn’t small potatoes, the people are contacting their state governors and representatives and screaming bloody murder.

Translate that into Democrat losses in 2016.

This is a show of voter force.

UpChuck must not be feeling well. He’s come down with an attack of common sense.

The administration is scheduling a conference call to these governors. How is that going to come out?

Which governor is going to cave to Obama saying vetting is 100% safe and secure. LOL!

Paul Ryan will want to be the FIRST to be seen backing away from the governors.

This “PAUSE” crap is such a political ruse. May the governors HOLD on this, I pray.

A pause until the media can distract the peons with some shiny objects...

You are correct to the letter. Still, we have to appreciate that it’s governors who are finally standing on their feet against this president and his endless cram downs.

“I hate to be a spoiler here but as long as we can go from state to state freely who cares how many states refuse to take them?”

We have to start somewhere and I give these governors credit for doing what they can to protect their states (as much as they can). In addition, having all these governors oppose accepting Syrian refugees may encourage Congress to act.

We have to oppose taking in these refugees any way we can. Resist, resist, resist.

A pause, Chucky?

I don’t think that’s the word I would use.

Pause is code for cease fire. It’s temporary, allowing them to fall back, get control of the narrative and then come back twice as hard.

These bastards will not give up.
