Desire for restrictions on refugees has caused blow back on the left___ President Barack Obama’s Syrian refugee program is driving a wedge through the Democratic Party, pitting liberal stalwarts against nervous Senate candidates and some senior lawmakers.
With the White House scrambling to defend its resettlement program and Republicans pressing to “pause†or even eliminate it, liberals were alarmed earlier this week when third-ranking Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York expressed openness to a time-out on resettling Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, Democrats battling in competitive races from Ohio to New Hampshire to Nevada are voicing concerns with the vetting process for refugees fleeing Syria, a nation millions have left since a civil war began four years ago.
Though there is little evidence yet that the perpetrators of last week’s deadly attacks in Paris were from Syria, Congress has seized on the refugee resettlement program and the Obama administration’s plans to admit as many as 10,000 Syrians through the program this year amid deepening public worries that terrorists from the Islamic State will exploit the initiative.
And some Democrats think the party needs to mount a tougher defense of the resettlement program and the rigorous process that refugees already go through to be admitted into the United States.

SECURITY vs. Political Correctness, who or what do you think is going to win with the vast majority of Americans??
Yep, back the goof ball in the White House or the security of the country. That is what is at stake.
What would Bill Ayers do?
If Vitter wins in La on Saturday it’s game over
So Obumbles wants 10,000 potential terrorists to come into the USA “by the end of this year”? That means in SIX WEEKS they could investigate all of these Muslims to see if they are terrorists. Impossible. They must be totally nuts to think the American people are going to stand for that. There comes a time when they have gone one bridge too far.
Has anyone considered a bill of impeachment yet?
I haven’t been following his campaign - hope he’s speaking loud about this.
There is no way the Feds can check them. Even when date was available, terrorists got through such as in the Boston bombers case. Then there are all those Somali terrorists/pedophiles.
You have 10,000 M&Ms in a bowl. 10 are poison. How many do you eat?
Couldn’t happen to a better party. I would love to see a Democrat split..
Running 0bama (TWICE!) was the dumbest thing the ‘Rats ever did.
If we play our cards right, we can pick off both the GOPe AND the ‘Rats this time around.
(Meh. A girl can dream...)
I think your poison number is way too low, but otherwise that is an excellent analogy.
What these people need to figure out is that the SPREAD of ISIS is due to Obama running away from Iraq.
Pathetic.
“You have 10,000 M&Ms in a bowl. 10 are poison. How many do you eat?”
I LOVE THAT! :)
Good analogy. I would only add that each poison M&M releases a toxic cloud that kills ten or twenty people.
And the longer it sits in the bowl, it poisons other candies.
Winning issue for Republicans but they’re going to piss it away as usual.
None, if there are any brown ones present < /Van Halen >
“You have 10,000 M&Ms in a bowl. 10 are poison. How many do you eat?â€
Excellent and not only that, how many do you feed your kids?
