Congressional source: 'The amendment is intended to be a response to Trump's statement' about Muslims...
...Congress is set to vote on Thursday on what some have called an "unprecedented" right that would allow immigrants easier access to relocate to the United States, according to new legislation offered by a Democratic senator.
The legislation, which is being offered by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) as an amendment to a larger bill governing nuclear safety, would prohibit the U.S. government from barring any individual from entering the country based on their religion...."

Bump
The amendment appears to go to S.1318
The problem with America is that it has too many Americans, right Leaky?
Red Alert!
Congress is attempting to blitz us due to ‘outrage’ over Trump!
“...Congress is set to vote on Thursday on what some have called an ‘unprecedented’ right that would allow immigrants easier access to relocate to the United States, according to new legislation offered by a Democratic senator...”
Which confirms that under current law the POTUS DOES HAVE that right.
The irony here is just so... ironic.
Nuclear safety combined with a “right” for muzzies to enter the country at will.
I see NOTHING wrong with that /s
My god, and the FBI Director just admitted that there is a risk of letting the Syrian migrants in.
This is absolutely INSANE.
Just add one more amendment: and all such waivers should go to Vermont.
Leaky Leahy is still around? My goodness, truly an artifact from the 70s!!

These people just don’t get it.
The outrage over Trump’s common sense muslim laws is from Dims, GOPe and the media. I did hear Monica Crowley this morning correctly stating the islam is not a religion but s socio-political system.
This is a counter-attack. They know that time is against them. They must strike now before they lose even more power.
Anyone know if this has any chance of passage?
Like ObamaCARE, the “US” Congress will make
themselves, their families, and their Staff
EXEMPT from the terrorist invasion they impose again.
The Ruling Class knows that if they do nothing, it’s ‘checkmate’, they would lose. So it’s like a ‘Hail Mary’ or blitz — now or never and ‘go for broke’.
These people are touched in the head. There’s something wrong with em’. Somebody needs to test the water over there.
Which confirms that under current law the POTUS DOES HAVE that right.

Yes, not only is it (i.e., the power of the President to restrict immigration selectively) a long-standing power of the Commander in Chief that was given to the President by Congress as PART OF EXISTING FEDERAL LAW, but that power has been exercised by previous Presidents.
Any Congress-critter who votes for Leahy’s amendment is voting to eliminate potential opposition to the ongoing Muslim invasion of America. Let’s see how the establishment Republicans in Congress react to this. I’m betting that the duplicitous, lying Marco Rubio skips the vote.
