The Senate’s final act before recess? More immigration from the Middle East!
conservative review ^ | July 14, 2016 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 07/15/2016 2:21:41 PM PDT by george76

our political class is still violating our sovereignty and security with endless migrants from the Middle East. We have so many emergencies within our national security apparatus and military that can and should be addressed within the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), yet the GOP-Senate chose to focus on more immigration as their final act before recess.

The Senate passed the Shaheen, D-N.H. (F, 2%) motion to instruct the conference committee negotiating the House-Senate differences in the NDAA to authorize a potentially unlimited amount Special Immigrant Visas (SIV) for Afghanis. Only 12 Republicans opposed the motion, which is non-binding, but makes it likely that an increase in SIVs will be in the final conference report:

...

Which brings us to the broader point: why is immigration the solution to everything? Why should our national security be dependent on letting in more people from the volatile countries we fight in? This cuts to the core of our failure to identify the enemy. The enemy is not just Al Qaeda or ISIS. The enemy is Sharia-based Islam. Even if we could possibly vet these people for not being double agents for the Taliban, a dubious task given the endless “green on blue” attacks in Afghanistan, most of these people believe in Sharia. Heck, the Afghani Constitution and government, for which our special operators are dying, is a sharia-based system .

...

What is so sad is that Republicans could have used this must-pass bill to address a number of emergencies in our military. Obama is remaking our military with transgender mandates, anti-religious bigotry, women in infantry at all costs, and terribly myopic missions in Syria and elsewhere.

...

Alas, Republicans can always be counted upon to act with alacrity to promote some of the most harmful policies of the Left..

The latest Obama-nominated federal district court judge to be confirmed by the Senate is Brian R. Martinotti. Judge Martinotto has assumed his duties on the bench at the U.S. District Court for New Jersey. He was confirmed 92-5 on July 6, 2016.

329 Obama-nominated federal judges have been confirmed by the United States Senate. 121 Obama federal judges were confirmed unanimously, 38 were confirmed by unanimous consent, 65 were confirmed on a voice vote. That’s 224 federal judges who were unchallenged and 105 who were challenged.
6 Obama nominees were rejected via Republican filibusters of their nominations. Obama withdrew all six nominations and in all six instances Obama nominated a different judge who was then confirmed.

It certainly ought to be voluntary, at a civic level. Now eventually those who make efforts to get on the wavelength of God will discover that He desires to be kind to all, but that some people won’t permit it because they refuse to receive the kindness to the purpose He intends.

Anyhow, seems simplest, that if they are causing problems in western society, to not bring them to western society. Set up some kind of community elsewhere, where they can run it in accordance with their religious beliefs, where they can go if they wish, and which they can leave for their former homes if they do not like it.

I wonder...how much does it cost to buy a US Congress and what are the annual maintenance expenses?

I bet the Clinton Foundation has that data, since they likely were a part of "brokering" those deals with the new owners, but I doubt they'll share unless they're made to, if then.

So, John the traitor Cornyn RINO voted FOR it? I know he is beloved by many freepers, but he’d a snake traitor. This is proof.
