Congressman Stephen Lynch on Boston Public Radio 12/01/15
Earlier this month, 47 democrats in the house of representatives defied a house veto threat by backing a GOP bill to ramp up screening requirements for Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Congressman Stephen Lynch was among them. He joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan on Boston Public Radio to discuss the reasoning behind his vote and other congressional matters.
Questions are paraphrased, and responses are edited where noted [...].
MARGERY: Lets start with the vote on the Syrian refugees. Why were you with those 47 other democrats?
Its a very simple bill, I know that its got subsumed within a larger discussion about immigration policy, but basically, the bill we voted on was a very short bill four pages in length, basically, and it said that the director of national security shall review the vetting process as being conducted by both the FBI and the department of homeland security. Because of the disastrous results we have had so far with the screening process, especially the department of homeland security, I think it was a very good idea to have another set of eyeballs looking at that process.
Back in August, we did an investigation,the inspector General did, of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that. Then we went further and did and eight-airport investigation. We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports.

We have a President who should be on the watch list too but somehow he ended up in the White House..TWICE
Now doesn’t that fact just leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling?
They are all Muslims, that’s why they are on the terror list....why isn’t ‘wimp in the Rainbow Hut’????
WTFF!?!?!
BTTT
Clearly, the answer to this is to import more Muslims.
And do away with the Second Amendment.
Knowing Obastard, they are probably assigned to do background checks on Muslims seeding to immigrate to the US.

One for each virgin in Paradise.
Better check for virginity when vetting, I guess.
That is code for, working at TSA.
I’ll bet there’s one from each of the 57 states also. :-)
Well, for a Democrat, he’s a reasonable guy.
He was doing ok until we got to the crux of the matter. The TSA isn’t unionized and THAT is the problem.
Because, Bush.
Are they all virgins?
“Right now, 72 Dept. of Homeland Security employees are on the No-Fly list. That is insane. If you’re too dangerous to board a plane, you’re too dangerous, by definition, to work for Homeland Security,” 0bama said in his weekly address.
Can someone mark this as front page news?
Will the media apologize and vindicate Michelle Bachmann?
LOL!
But really, it is sad no one seems shocked. This is surreal.
When hell freezes over. But then they’ll all be frozen.
