Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced legislation on Tuesday, S. 2195, to prevent known terrorists from obtaining visas to enter the United States as ambassadors to the United Nations.

“It is unconscionable that, in the name of international diplomatic protocol, the United States would be forced to host a foreign national who showed a brutal disregard for the status of our diplomats when they were stationed in his country,” Cruz said.

Iranian President Hasan Rouhani recently named Hamid Aboutalebi as the nation’s new ambassador to the U.N., which is headquartered in Manhattan. A visa application to allow him to enter the United States has been duly filed.

Aboutalebi was a member of The Muslim Students Following the Imam’s Line, the group that held 52 Americans hostage in Tehran for 444 days from 1979-81. The organization is still active and his photo is currently featured on its official website that celebrates the hostage crisis.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

I am a huge Cruz supporter/believer, but we all know that his boss Reid is never going to let any GOP bills come to the floor for a vote. The Gov is in LAME DUCK mode until Jan 20, 2017, and even that is a crap shoot.

GO Senator Cruz!

[canuck_conservative]

Ted Cruz is 100% right on this. And I’ll bet a lot of Democratic senators quietly back him on this.

Further, I’ll bet Valerie Jarrett and her administration back the Iranian side.

How about blocking them on a student visa? Or as an illegal immigrant? Or as a student pilot only interested in taking off and not landing?

I love this guy. Put me on the list.

Since I can’t poet the “THAT’S RACIST!” kid I will just have to scream. THAT’S RACIST!!!

A better bill would be moving the UN out of the US -— how about to Tehran?

[napscoordinator]

Which is why Cruz is suggesting such a bill. He knows it won’t go anywhere.
