After Paris, Brussels, and San Bernadino, if the GOP cant find the stones to approve a bill requiring Middle East moslem import people to be screened, the party is utterly useless.
Thankfully, a president has extremely wide authority to exclude entire nations or groups from being given visas. Trump is on the way.
There was no bill requiring screening to be approved. The Democrats simply said refugees would not be screened and it was non negotiable.
The Republican then gave in.
