Ryan: Security Test — Not Religious Test — for Refugees Is ‘The Preferred Route to Go’
Cybercast News Service ^ | June 14, 2016 | 11:40 AM EDT | Penny Starr

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said on Tuesday that immigrants who want to enter the United States as refugees should be thoroughly vetted for security reasons and that religion should play no role in that vetting.

“We believe, ultimately, that we ought to have the tools where we have a security test — not a religious test — a security test,” Ryan said at a briefing with reporters at the Capitol, “and we think that’s the preferred route to go.” …

“God help us All. I seriously doubt we could win world war II today with the type of half assed thinking which drives the policies and actions of our leaders today.”

I really think we’re going to have to drag all these treasonous turds out of D.C. This is beyond belief.

Islam is not a religion.

So, what’s the problem, Paul?

Who is Mr. K I like Nehlen!!!!!

I do too but I've yet to hear a politician state what Mr. K just typed. Simple, rational and to the point. Hard for the RATS to spin that

How about an IQ test for “Republicans”.

It would free up a lot of space in the party.

Okay, Ryan does not religion as included as a security test. So how about the question, “Do you belong to an any organization that advocates/justifies violence and death toward any person that is not a member of that organization?”

We don't need a security test. We don't need a religious.

We don't need any stinking' refugees from Muslim countries

You seriously doubt it? Well, I can guarentee we would be speaking Japanese today if that ugly little Eddie Munster and his ilk of timid Republicans had been in office on that fatal day at Pearl Harbor.

They would have immiately flown the white flag before sun down. After all, it wasn’t their culture and religion that made the Japs start the war...it was only the actions of a few.

Sometimes those two tests merge, at least in part.

***

What tools do you have in mind, Paul, that will adequately vet an individual who has no personal recorded history of associations and affiliation?

In any event, Paul, you might also want to consider these questions for your security test (after all there was a time when we screened immigrants for communicable diseases and mental defects):

1. Have you ever served as a sexual pleasure boy for an influential male in your community?
2. Have you ever owned or controlled one or more sexual pleasure boys?
3. Have you ever thrown someone suspected of homosexual practices off of a tall building with the intent of killing them, or have you ever thought about do so?

"Security Test" ... ? Is he saying that only "pacifists" will be allowed to immigrate? Exactly how would such nonsense be enforced? Ryan ... the more you speak the more convinced we (Wisconsinites) recognize your idiocy. Vote for Nehlen, southern Wisconsin FRiends.

Get with the program Ryan. So OK, if this were WWII, and a self-confessed Nazi wanted to immigrate, would we let him?

House Speaker Paul Ryan know costs will be extremely high to do a proper ‘vetting’ of the hundreds of thousands of Islamists he wants to bring here.

So, to keep the books clean he's going to cut Social Security for Americans who have made this country great over the past 80 years.

Easy to be fair - STOP ALL IMMIGRATION FROM EVERYWHERE...

Build refugee camps in Saudi Arabia and let them take their co-religionists. America is broke. Give ME that money before you give it to foreigners.

This country seems to be throwing its own citizens to the wolves. People aren’t stupid. They see what’s going on. The gays see where they are on the totem pole of societal protection. If they’re smart, they’ll join forces with the only political party that wants to protect their lives instead of letting jihadists mow them down whenever they get an itch to kill. Forty-nine people dead for nothing in Orlando and six still in critical condition and the government turned a blind eye to jihadi plots. Disgusting.

An absolute idiot on the Saudi payroll. Religion should be the very first question. And how the heck can you vet people who have no personal papers, no history and no government documentation.

>>> “We believe, ultimately, that we ought to have the tools where we have a security test .....

You caught it, too.

Ryan is implying we currently DO NOT have a "security test". And the next question is why not, after so many years? How come nobody comes right out and question him on that?

What in the world does the Speaker think other priorities more important than the safety and wellbeing of Americans?
