Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says he will introduce legislation banning all Muslim Syrians from the United States in response to ISIS' hit on Paris.
'What Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing is that we bring to this country tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees,' Cruz told CNN last night at a campaign stop in Charleston, South Carolina.
'I have to say particularly in light of what happened in Paris, that's nothing short of lunacy,' he said.
...
By days end, Republican presidential candidates and Members of Congress - including some Democrats - were lining up to demand that the legislative and executive branches revisit the refugee policy as it applies to Syria.
...
At a press conference yesterday in Turkey, where he was meeting with other world leaders at the G20 summit, President Barack Obama said as far as he's concerned, the refugees fleeing ISIS are welcome in America.
...
Obama said that when he hears politicians say 'maybe we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims' or there should be a 'religious test' for admission - 'when some of those folks themselves come from families who benefitted from protection when they were fleeing political persecution - that's shameful.'
'That's not American. That's not who we are. We don't have religious tests to our compassion,' he asserted.
The complaint was generically lodged at the president's critics but it was seen as a slap at Cruz and Marco Rubio. Both senators' parents immigrated to the United States from Cuba.
'It's not surprising that President Obama is attacking me personally,' Cruz said yesterday, in his interview with CNN's Dana Bash. 'I'll tell you what is shameful is that we have a President that after 7 years still refuses to utter the words radical Islamic terrorism.'

TED CRUZ - Not afraid to say it! Not afraid to do it! 2016
Good he’s out front on this one. Thanks, Senator Cruz.
Don’t limit to syrian. Muslims from all over the world are jihadis on the move.
Did he really kick the door open after a press conference?
In as much as our POTUS suffers from a mental disorder brought about my a severe case of liberalism, islam, and possibly a gender crisis... Yeah, looks like we have to do this as a law.
Thank you Ted.
No, it’s fake but accurate.
We already have at least ONE too many foreign muslims, Baraq!
Obama is willing to block Christian immigrants but not Muslim.
Obama is totally clueless(by personal choice), about who we are and what we are as Americans.
No. You really think that panty-waist could do that?
five of the Iraqis have been charged with immigration fraud -Absolutely bizarre! Or it just plain manipulation?
Quote from article.
An immigration judge ordered the deportation of 15 of the Christians, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.
Another five of the Iraqis have been charged with immigration fraud and remain under U.S. Marshal custody at the Otay prison. Seven already have been returned to Europe, where they were living before attempting to enter the United States illegally, said Mack.
Fifteen remain in ICE custody pending their deportation in the following weeks. Five of those are considered “pending cases,†Mack said. Generally, once deportees are given a final removal order by a judge, ICE officials begin making travel arrangements.
If the European nations receiving these Christians decide to send them back to Iraq they will face almost certain death.

There is such a thing as a House override if some Democrats would put down the kool-aid and act like Americans concerned with defending America. I know, probably wishful thinking but I still hope.
Cruz to the White House 2016!
Cruz vs Obola isn t a fair fight but... Go Ted!
True, but it’s on record that he tried, which is more than anyone else has done.
