GG Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Asking because I've been out of the news cycle (but for headlines) this week: I thought it had been confirmed the attackers in Paris were all French nationals? I remember reading about the guy who was saved but thought that had been debunked? From WSJ: A body of an attacker who blew himself up was found with a Syrian passport with the name Ahmad AlMohammad. Authorities have confirmed the passport is fake. Fingerprints taken from his remains match the prints of a man who entered Europe via the Aegean island of Leros on Oct. 3.

Don't worry I'm sure he is the only "non refugee" mixed in with these helpless women and children. Breitbart is reporting eight Syrians were caught at the Texas border. Allegedly with forged Greek documents "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met. " until they are sawing your head off with a dull knife.

IDBillzFan Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 House passes a bill limiting admissions from Syria & Iraq, with strong bipartisan support.

Someone needs to change their headline from "France is ready to accept more refugees, but Republicans are not." Again, it doesn't matter. This will be handled through the executive administrative state. The Obama administration will simply say that they believe they have the Constitutional authority to disregard Congress in these matters, as this responsibility can be comfortably found within the purview of the Executive branch. The administration will do as it pleases, knowing well that it will take years for Constitutional challenges to surface in a court setting, and their will having been done, and President Obama long out of office, before anyone can rule. Even if an injunction is issued, it will be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Let's elect Trump but with a pre-condition that he resigns after 2 years. He'll come in and tackle immigration and start beating the snot out of Isis and work on the economy. After 2 years he gives way to a more polished and measured VP. Ryan becomes the new VP.

B-Man Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Make the President an offer he can’t refuse on refugees As much as we rightly fear Islamic terror coming into our country, at the same time I think most of us also understand the legitimate fears any woman and mother has living in the Islamic world. So when it comes to refugees, let’s take the President at his word, and do a good deed at the same time. Let’s set a quota demanding that refugees let in must be 70% women, or children under 13. Since Obama says the refugees are mostly women and children, how can he say no? Pass a bill. Barack Obama decided politics must extend beyond the water’s edge, and attacked Ted Cruz while abroad. The basic problem is that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) , like most of us, understands that the bulk of the people coming out of Syria are migrants, not refugees. These aren’t women and children fleeing war and oppression. They’re men looking for work. The profile of the “refugees” is reminiscent of the profile of illegal aliens coming into the US over our southern border. But if the President is telling the truth, and the refugeees are mostly women and children, then signing a bill mandating a quota of 70% women, or children under 13 shouldn’t be a problem, right? Right? So let’s do it. Pass the bill. Make him veto it. http://www.redstate.com/2015/11/19/make-president-offer-cant-refuse-refugees/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be held up in the Senate, and finally moved through only when it could be pocket vetoed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 http://www.gopusa.com/news/2015/11/19/iraqi-refugees-who-settled-in-kentucky-supported-al-qaida-attempted-to-send-guns-cash/?subscriber=1 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — From a Kentucky college town, two Iraqi refugees plotted to send sniper rifles, Stinger missiles and money to al-Qaida operatives waging an insurgency back home against U.S. troops. The scheme was foiled and both are in prison, but the case has left jitters about whether extremists might slip in among Syrian refugees resettling in the U.S. The two men had been involved in insurgent attacks in Iraq before arriving in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 2009 as part of a U.S. program to help displaced Iraqis. Their plan unraveled when they teamed up with an FBI informant, leading to their 2011 arrest........................................................................................ Hammadi and Alwan pleaded guilty to taking part in a plot to ship thousands of dollars in cash, machine-guns, rifles, grenades and shoulder-fired missiles from Kentucky to al-Qaida in Iraq in 2010 and 2011. Hammadi is serving a life sentence, and Alwan, who prosecutors called an experienced militant, received a 40-year prison sentence. Federal officials already had evidence of Alwan's ties to the Iraq insurgency from a fingerprint on a roadside bomb found in 2005, but it didn't stop him from entering the U.S. as a refugee four years later. Federal investigators starting tracking Alwan after discovering he had been held in an Iraqi prison. The fingerprint match was made later and used as evidence in the case against him. So, this is how our government screens refugees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Turning on President Barack Obama and other Democratic leaders, a significant chunk of the House Democratic caucus sided with Republicans in an effort to effectively stifle the flow of Syrian refugees into the US. On Thursday, 47 House Democrats voted in favor of a bill authored by Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Texas). The bill passed, 289-137, giving it just enough to overcome a threatened veto from President Barack Obama. Original Article Funny thing.........After a closed-door meeting at the White House, Dems came away even more opposed to Obama´s plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
