The senate will betray the house of course.

[Durbin]

Now that’s bipartisanship.

[circlecity]

Obama always throws a petulant hissy fit when something like this happens. It will be interesting to see his response.

[RKBA Democrat]

Another show vote.

The scum in DC would sell their mothers into slavery to keep power.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Too bad our Parliamentarians wouldn't grow some coglioni and follow the American example.

With Turd-owe in charge, no such luck.

Americans, very soon, you'll have to REALLY beef up your Northern border, unfortunately.

Nadler would let anybody in no matter how much of an enemy they are. It is nonsense when he and Obama say stricter immigration controls are "against our values." There is excellent precedent one hundred years ago for arresting and deporting enemies of the U.S.

Congress passed the Deportation Act of 1918 with three purposes in mind. This law authorized the deportation of any alien who: [1] opposed all organized government (anarchism); [2] advocated the overthrow of the government "by force or violence"; or [3] belonged to any organization teaching these views. For example, the Secretary of Labor eventually ruled that the Communist Party advocated violent revolution. Therefore, any alien who was a member of that organization could be deported. The Bureau of Immigration (then part of the Department of Labor) often decided who would be deported under this law.

Even though deportation matters were not normally the concern of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Palmer soon created an alliance with officials in the Bureau of Immigration to find and deport alien "reds." J. Edgar Hoover, Palmer's chief investigating officer, ordered Justice Department agents to go undercover and join suspected radical organizations.

By December 1919, Palmer, Hoover, and their allies in the Bureau of Immigration had decided to arrest alien members of the Communist Party and other foreign radicals. Hoover issued the instructions to Department of Justice agents which called for the arrests to take place during a series of raids planned for the evening of January 2, 1920.

The Palmer "Red Raids" took place on schedule in more than 30 cities, located mainly in eastern states. Between six and ten thousand people were arrested. In many cases, arrest warrants had not been issued until after individuals found themselves in custody. Moreover, Department of Justice agents rarely carried search warrants during the raids. Nevertheless, the raiders seized political literature, membership cards and lists, organization records, and other papers. Very little evidence of revolutionary or criminal activity actually turned up. Days after the raids, thousands of aliens were still being held without formal charge, without bail, without the assistance of a lawyer and in many cases, without family or friends knowing where they were.

We are 14 years overdue for such a crackdown.

Syrians. Look at what your religion did - you were the most civilized of the Arabs. Now you are seen as disgusting zombie hordes.

2 Republicans voted NO, North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones and Iowa Rep. Steve King.

[Graybeard58]

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., had a forceful exchange with Johnson, saying that opposition to the bill would be a terrible vote for Democrats that could cost them seats in next year’s elections.

********************************************************************

Obama has shown repeatedly that he doesn’t care if democrats lose their seats because of his policies.

[Colonel_Flagg]

That’s gonna get Baraq wee-weed up for sure.

Good.

Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. should welcome refugees from the region and bolster America’s defenses and intelligence operations
... eat your peas

[DoughtyOne]

Betcha Ryan didn't see that coming.

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

On the Senate floor, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who hasn't yet scheduled debate on the issue, said Thursday it is time "to press pause"...

My Gawd. Is it possible to get any weaker than McTurtle?

[dadfly]

Steve King voted no. that tells me this bill is nothing but methane.

[SamAdams76]

It's the Trump Fear Factor. Most Republicans don't want to be on the bad side of the next president.

[luv2ndamend]

Can someone show me where it says that this stops them from coming into the country?

[GOPJ]

Veto proof is the win... Democrats will be more likely to stand with us for the next battle...

[EXCH54FE]
