Obama administration stiff-arms lawmakers questioning secret refugee deal

The move has also raised a red flag among Congressional oversight members.

Give the terrorist invaders a choice: shoot yourself in the head now or leave immediately. Have a Merry Christmas!

Meanwhile McCain and Graham are trying to concoct legislation that will prevent Trump from deporting anyone.

I'm hoping that Trump can deport RINOs McCain and Linda Graham to Cuba, specifically GITMO.
