U.S. House passes bill that would bar people from Iraq, Iran, Syria and Sudan from entering the U.S.
CNN ^ | December 8, 2015 | Deirdre Walsh

The House overwhelmingly passed legislation on Tuesday (407 to 19) that would overhaul the federal visa waiver program and bar those from Iraq, Syria, Iran and the Sudan, or those who have visited those countries in the last five years, from traveling to the United States without a visa.

Action on the proposal comes in response to the recent attacks in Paris from ISIS operatives, and the shooting in California by a couple that expressed support for the terror group on social media.

"This will help neutralize the threat from foreign terrorists entering our country," House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Tuesday.

I don’t think it will stop terrorist. Just stop a never ending welfare generation after generation and tax us until we’re the dow-trodden in our own country.

I would imagine, though i believe some Truly Christian organizations will continue to go to bat for those who truly are.

The problem is the ME refugees are adapting quickly to who is favored.....thus there were many getting Baptized in Catholic Churches and presenting those certificates as “proof”.....but we know they aren't Christians.

We always need to remember that Muslims operate 99% of the time deceptively...their very cultures demands this or they'd all be killed, arrested or whatever for the least infraction of Islamic law, which can be easily twisted like a pretzel...... Thus it's quite “naturally” a culture of deceptive practices, which they see nothing at all wrong with....why would they?...it's been their daily way of life to survive the cultures they're in.

So faking their Christians is simply just another avenue to get what they want....and what they want is to come to Western nations to have what they perceive as an easier life but bringing the very Culture traditions and ideology that make their life so miserable in the countries they come from.

Further it takes years for a Muslim to actually understand what his conversion to Christianity means, to actually grasp it.... and even then many cannot free themselves of it's strong-armed indoctrinations let alone of their culture nuances which consistently remind them of what they've been indoctrinated with. Without a very strong church family connection they will quickly fall back into Islamic Mosques and teachings here....and you can be certain Muslims here will go after them to come back..

Didn’t they just get a regime change? Perhaps not.

In that area, it depends on how the leadership is. The leadership before this one was rather decent I believe.

That region is always problematic. I know.

Well, all that tells *me* its that the vermin in DC have been callously allowing in people from Iraq, Iran, and the Sudan *WITHOUT* a visa, even after the rise of Islamic terror worldwide.

Morons? Or Bribed? Or just Traitors?

Thanks for posting Syncro.

I typed it up if people are trying to cut and paste it:

ISLAM WAS BANNED FROM THE USA IN 1952. but Obama doesn't want you to know that nor does he respect or uphold US law. The Immigration and Nationality Act passed Jun 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, on in particular found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belong to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by "force, violence, or other unconstitutional means." This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House. Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life's guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any "organization" that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited."

I sent to Donald J. Trump at his website here: Contact sheet at Donald J Trump website

On top I put: Attention, Important, please give to Mr. Trump: (and typed it in - now you can just cut and paste this above)

I recommend others do the same. The more the better.

Just a slight correction needed.

The House overwhelmingly passed legislation on Tuesday (407 to 19) that would overhaul the federal visa waiver program and bar those from Iraq, Syria, Iran and the Sudan, or those who have visited those countries in the last five years, from traveling to the United States without a visa.

Why the heck can't the Republican majority in the Senate change the 60% rule back to the greater than 50% rule? The Dems changed it when they had the control. It only takes 51 votes to change the rule and the Republicans have that covered.

Because they don't really want what they told you they wanted when they wanted your vote. In other words, they lied.

I think it’s meant in the spirit of “Dewey Defeats Truman.”
