That’s a good thing to do; I’m going on my memory. It’s been known to be faulty at times. :>)
However, I really think I remember that from some news source yesterday. That it was about preference to Christian refugees.
I want to give preference to real Christian refugees, however, I think an ISIS plant can also pretend to be a Christian refugee the same as they can pretend to be an Islamic refugee.
Only if the CIA, DIA, FBI, and Homeland Security all LIE independent of each other.
I don’t care what the articles says, its whats it says in the bill! If you think these asshats grew a spine and came over to our side, then maybe I’m going nuts!
the question i would have of course is whether this bill effectively defunds obama’s ability execute orders on immigration in regards to this situation.
I guess I am getting Naive. There is no way in hell are these same people are changing there stripes and doing what is right.
This bill does not mention funding at all. I posted the bill at #28 on this thread.
thanks. i’ll take a look when i get time.
Veto proof is the win... Democrats will be more likely to stand with us for the next battle...
There are good ones left in the Army, Navy, AF, Marines, CG, CIA, FBI. Lots of them.
They didn’t all quit just because Obama was elected....thank God!
From what I understand, this is a show vote that is standalone from funding measures. If this were tied to an omnibus bill, O would have a choice: sign it or shut down the govt.
Because it’s separate, of course O will veto even if the senate somehow passes it.
I could be wrong but I believe this is the gop’s standard “failure theater” move (hat tip to Ace of Spades).
With the democrat abstentions, it’s too close for me to call veto proof.
This one is actually important even if it is a stand alone bill.
If ISIS manages to strike big in the US, then many of those democrats who refused to sign on to this bill could be at risk.
Voting no were 135 Democrats and two Republicans, North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones and Iowa Rep. Steve King.
That is a great point. And, I actually mentioned it to my rep and senators’ offices today, that there would be hell to pay if/when an attack comes to our soil and you’ve done nothing.
Btw I’m always a fan of your posts, keep it up.
Regards-
Ted Cruz (who King has endorsed) has a competing bill in the Senate that is much tougher.
i’m going to attempt to read it when i get a chance. it’s posted here.
and to add to our comment. you know that the gope has given cover to dems in this manner many times in the past. no dem can vote for a rep bill unless pelosi signs off on it.

Ted Cruz vs. Obama for 30 minutes in a nationally televised debate over the Syrian Refugees
... Two moderators, Stephanopolus and Mark Levin ... just to be fair ...
Ted Cruz wins the GOP nomination and November 2016 election.
That televised event is the equivalent of a $ 750 million ad campaign ...

We’ll see. Those provisions look interesting. However, as we’ve seen time and again if there is anything positive and beneficial in a law it will not emerge from capitol hill. They just don’t do that.
I like your “hell to pay” better than my “at risk”.
But thank you for your kind words.
That sure would be interesting. Any hope of ever seeing it?
