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..

It would seem that, even if we care about these peoples, there could be a wiser way to be of help. They consider western society an abomination and a temptation... so why plop them into the middle of it.

How quickly they forgot about San Bernardino, Orlando and Nice. Sure, 9/11 was sooo last century and Orlando was like waaay last month but Nice was just yesterday. The RINOs should be taking note of Turkey today as We the People are getting fed up.

The GOP has forced Islamic rape, murder,
narcoterrorists, tuberculosis, EV-D68, slavery
and ISIS on the underbelly of America.

They LIED to the voters, and remain EXEMPT
with the Moslems they invited in.

This was a must pass bill and that immigration portion is non-binding.

This is the senate that Trump is going to have to work with?

He had better master the art of the deal!
