White House threatens to veto bill to halt Syrian refugees
The Hill ^ | 18 Nov 2015 | Jordan Fabian

Posted on 11/18/2015 4:08:00 PM PST by amorphous

The White House on Wednesday threatened to veto a House bill that would require additional security checks on Syrian refugees before they could be resettled in the United States.

"This legislation would introduce unnecessary and impractical requirements that would unacceptably hamper our efforts to assist some of the most vulnerable people in the world, many of whom are victims of terrorism," the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement.

President Obama has engaged in a war of words with Republicans over allowing Syrian refugees entry into the country.

Republicans in the House and Senate have argued that in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks on Paris, there should be a "pause." The House is set to vote on legislation Thursday that would block any refugees from Syria or Iraq from being resettled in the U.S. unless the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Director of National Intelligence can certify to Congress that each person does not pose a security threat.

In its veto threat, the White House said the House bill "is untenable and would provide no meaningful additional security for the American people, instead serving only to create significant delays and obstacles" for people fleeing the conflict in Syria."

White House threatens to veto bill to halt Syrian refugees

Well, now! Let's see if the new speaker has the nads to do it. I know if it reaches the Senate, McConnell, in Harry Reid fashion, will sit on it cause it might be vetoed.

If it is vetoed, and an attack happens on U.S. soil, Bowbama should be executed, I mean, taken to the nearest courtroom, impeached and then convicted for allowing Americans to be injured or killed.

Make him veto it and then let the DemocRats in Congress vote to uphold the veto. It will make it that much easier for the GOP nominee to win the WH.

Islam has three sacred texts: Koran, Sira and Hadith. These texts have been analyzed using simple statistics

Trilogy Text Devoted to Jihad:

The whole world must submit to Islam; Kafirs are the enemy simply by not being Muslims. Violence and terror are made sacred by the Koran. Peace comes only with submission to Islam.

Political Islam, jihad, is universal and eternal.

Only if Mitch McConnell is replaced. A semi-trained monkey would do a better job.

Let him.

Let’s get EVERY Demoncrat - governor, Congress, you name it - on the record on this now.

Can you imaging playing that against Hillary after the inevitable happens (Paris-style attack here)?

They caught 8 on the border just today.

Democrats own illegals and the refugees and all the crime they bring here.

Make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that’s the case and let the voters punish them.

Congress needs to ‘ veto ‘ Obama.... and if they won’t do it then the US military needs to go in and haul his punk ass out of there . There has never before in US history been a president so worthy of being shown the door .

I agree completely.

He may be dead. Did you see the photo of BHO2 on Drudge? That is not the man elected President in 2008 and 2012. BHO2 has epicanthic eyefolds because his DNA is 80% Asian. That man who is pictured is basically negro.

(British intelligence did a surreptitious DNA test and, surprise! It was 80% Asian, 10% negro, and 10% caucasian.)

Compare to #36 on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3362037/posts

#36 was a photo that has been around since at least 2008, maybe even longer.

I only fixed the offensive contraction characters.

It looks like this IS exactly what you ordered.

While hauling his ass out, they found his buddies in the rainbow house ON the dining FLOOR:

The only real solution is a couple of million people camp at the rainbow house and Capitol Hill until all their asses are hauled out.

Here is the story I received in an email:

The French arrested a Muslim terror suspect. Now that's the way to conduct a 'perp walk.' Word is, he was caught during some "quality time" with his pet goat.

Apologies to any offended freepers. We all own this common part, do we not?
