A Senate committee on Thursday approved a resolution that critics described as an "unprecedented" move granting immigrants easier access to the United States.
The amendment, offered by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) and first reported on by the Washington Free Beacon, affirms the Senate's belief "that the United States must not bar individuals from entering into the United States based on their religion, as such action would be contrary to the fundamental principles on which this Nation was founded."
The language was offered in response to recent comments from a presidential candidate who called on Muslims to be barred from immigrating to the United States....
...Sessions was joined by Sens. Thom Tillis (R., N.C.), David Vitter (R., La.), and Ted Cruz (R., Texas) in voting no on the resolution.

I’m for banning immigration from the Middle East with exceptions for Christians and Jews.
Any more attacks from invaders, the blood will be on their hands.
70% of muslim immigrants support dimocrats. what part of this does the gop-e not understand? they’re allowing in more voters who will vote against them.
Amazing the stupid.
Country was founded by dudes who got on a ship to get the hell away from people like Muslim fundamentalists who didn’t want others to have their freedoms. They came here to get away from those people, not to bring them here too.
Agree. We should put a moratorium on all immigration. We’ve let in enough immigrants for the time being.
True. And I’d point out that just because the Founders didn’t want a state religion, does not mean they pretended all religions were the same or of equal good. If a shipload of human-sacrificing Aztecs had shown up in Philadelphia shortly after the Constitution was signed, what kind of idiot thinks the Founders would have reacted the way our leaders do today?
On facebook a few weeks ago I posted that we can love our neighbors without inviting potential killers to live with us and our families. I donated $1000 for refugee relief in Syria and challenged others to do the same. Of course all I got was crickets from the “you must hate Muslims if you don’t want them next to your family” crowd.
“Ted Cruz voted for this? I am waiting for the explanation, but, if accurate, Cruz is throwing the race to Trump.”
Can’t you read? Cruz voted no.
What about peoples with standing declarations of WAR against us?
Maybe you should read down thread before you shoot.
Cruz voted NO.
Dare to be stupid. Maybe the best pastiche parody ever.
“Maybe you should read down thread before you shoot.”
I can shoot as well as anyone else on this thread. If I want to add my two cents worth to you as others did also, it is my prerogative. And I did.
Let me see if I’ve got this straight. The DemocRATS hate religious people and would like to crucify all Christians to save their sexual deviants from the evil Christians. Being a Christian in America during the Error of Obama is now “unconstitutional”. However, we can’t stop the invading Muzzie savage hoards who want to kill all Americans from entering the country because those guys go to church and prey a lot. We have to allow them in to the country to kill us because denying them entrance is a “religious test.” Got it!
All it does, it gives us an idea that these people LOVE the Islamic Terrorists that want to kill us and will go to all lengths to keep importing them for votes and to prop up this puppet government in anyway they can.
The only way to fix it is to remove the head of the snake and do it now.
I would tend to agree that we shouldn’t take religion into consideration. BUT! islam is NOT a religion. It is a death cult, a political force designed to destroy anything but itself, an invasion tactic, a governmental system, a violence-propagation mechanism. It does not remotely resemble a religion.
If the Germans had declared Nazism a religion, would that make it ok to invite them in? If the KKK were declared a religion, would we protect it as one?
Excellent point.
Laws that actually protect us or improve the country languish for months or years and then die a slow and painful death when they think no one is looking.
Islam is at war with America and the world. America is not at war with Islam.
