House Dems Back GOP On Bill To Pause Admittance Of Some Refugees

WASHINGTON -- Forty-seven House Democrats broke with the White House on Thursday to vote for a bill aimed at pausing admittance of Syrian and Iraqi refugees by adding requirements to an already lengthy screening process, and putting pressure on intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security officials to act with caution.

The Obama administration threatened a veto on Wednesday evening. But a number of Democrats peeled off anyway, under significant pressure from constituents to act after terrorist attacks in Paris last week. The bill passed 289-137 -- with enough support to override a veto, should there be one.

They know Obama will veto any bill.

Way to go Obama. Keep knocking your party down by being on the wrong side of what the people want.

vote out these Progressives from control of our Government... they have turned our lives and country upside down and out of control.

2016 should be very interesting.

Obama and Hildebeast are shooting their party in the ass with their approval of Syrian refugees coming to America.

Most of America doesn't want them here and his first priority is the protection of America and its citizens.

Guess what we the people want isn't on his radar.

It's no surprise. The echo chamber is very effective. Fear sells and is a sure fire way to motivate people.

Being wary and prudent also sells and motivates.

Watching what happened in Paris is a big motivator as well. But then you obviously aren't smart enough to see that.

What happened in Paris is entirely unrelated to our refugee policy.

We are at greater risk from our well established visa free tourist and student visa programs.

This discussion is 100% motivated by politics. I'm not convinced that you people are afraid of terror attacks in the US. I am convinced that you think this is a winner politically because you know that it is easy to scare people.

You may now deny that entirely obvious fact.

the left uses the so called: refugees just like they do everyone in this country. For their dirty politics. so they can go around saying how they CARE so much more for people and the hell with that 60something percent who says they want these people stopped from coming in our country

it's sick. Because then they turn around and support abortions on demand. You can't take these people serious.

Well what happened in Paris in a prime indicator that Muslims will kill you. Guess you missed that.

Oh and good to know you think those here on visa's are the only Muslims we need to be wary of. Must be nice to know exactly which Muslims want to kill us. You must have a high powered crystal ball that lets you know exactly which Muslims want us dead. Good for you.

Oh and the only politics I see are the Dems seeing that the 2016 elections might be bad for them because most of America doesn't want these refugees in the country. They will be trying to save their asses of course. But for most Americans being safe trumps all. Except you and those like you, that is.

And of course you deny those very obvious facts. Good luck with that.
