That is probably true, but this is still good news.

Obama always throws a petulant hissy fit when something like this happens. It will be interesting to see his response.

Another show vote.

The scum in DC would sell their mothers into slavery to keep power.

Yes, I agree. Some conservatives (2) didn’t like it because it didn’t have a paragraph preferring Christians over any other refugee.

I would like to see that, too, but this bill will make vetting of ANYONE a matter for the FBI and the CIA also to sign off on.

I’m not foolish enough to think that an infiltrating ISIS agent would refuse to pretend to be a Christian.

Let’s wait and see. I like the provision that the CIA and the FBI have to sign off on any vetting of any entrant whatsoever.

According to the article, two Republicans, one of which is Steve King from Iowa. I don’t get it.

He’ll say they’re afraid of 3 year old orphans.

Actually, I’m fine with 3 year old orphans. They have no moms, no dads, and no memory. Let them all in.

As if the CIA and FBI are not owned by Obama?

Right.

Too bad our Parliamentarians wouldn't grow some coglioni and follow the American example.

With Turd-owe in charge, no such luck.

Americans, very soon, you'll have to REALLY beef up your Northern border, unfortunately.

Nadler would let anybody in no matter how much of an enemy they are. It is nonsense when he and Obama say stricter immigration controls are "against our values." There is excellent precedent one hundred years ago for arresting and deporting enemies of the U.S.

Congress passed the Deportation Act of 1918 with three purposes in mind. This law authorized the deportation of any alien who: [1] opposed all organized government (anarchism); [2] advocated the overthrow of the government "by force or violence"; or [3] belonged to any organization teaching these views. For example, the Secretary of Labor eventually ruled that the Communist Party advocated violent revolution. Therefore, any alien who was a member of that organization could be deported. The Bureau of Immigration (then part of the Department of Labor) often decided who would be deported under this law.

Even though deportation matters were not normally the concern of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Palmer soon created an alliance with officials in the Bureau of Immigration to find and deport alien "reds." J. Edgar Hoover, Palmer's chief investigating officer, ordered Justice Department agents to go undercover and join suspected radical organizations.

By December 1919, Palmer, Hoover, and their allies in the Bureau of Immigration had decided to arrest alien members of the Communist Party and other foreign radicals. Hoover issued the instructions to Department of Justice agents which called for the arrests to take place during a series of raids planned for the evening of January 2, 1920.

The Palmer "Red Raids" took place on schedule in more than 30 cities, located mainly in eastern states. Between six and ten thousand people were arrested. In many cases, arrest warrants had not been issued until after individuals found themselves in custody. Moreover, Department of Justice agents rarely carried search warrants during the raids. Nevertheless, the raiders seized political literature, membership cards and lists, organization records, and other papers. Very little evidence of revolutionary or criminal activity actually turned up. Days after the raids, thousands of aliens were still being held without formal charge, without bail, without the assistance of a lawyer and in many cases, without family or friends knowing where they were.

We are 14 years overdue for such a crackdown.

Big deal. They'll simply fill out some form saying "We certify these refuges and all future ones as safe and harmless".

There are good ones in the Army, Navy, AF, Marines, CG, CIA, FBI. Lots of them.

They didn’t all quit just because Obama was elected....thank God!

Otherwise, it would mean that we had given up.
