Minute Memo #198 - House Votes to Restrict Syrians
The U.S. House of representatives yesterday voted to place security restrictions on President Obama’s plan to import as many as 200,000 refugees fleeing from Iraq and Syria buy a 289 to 137 margin. 47 Democrats voted with Republican members in a rare show of bi-partisan support.
The bill would require the FBI, and two other intel agencies to certify that each refugee allowed into the U.S. has been satisfactorily screened for potential terrorism ties and is not a threat to national security.
Pres. Obama has threatened to veto the legislation from Congress, but the house could override with just 287 votes, two less than they got yesterday. However the US Senate well need 67 out of 100 votes to override a presidential veto.
The vote comes on the heels of a new report from the Center for immigration studies (C.I.S.) that shows the United States could support 12 refugees in safe havens in their homeland for the cost of bringing one refugee to the United States. CIS official Jessica Vaughn told radio show host Howie Carr yesterday: ”On average, each refugee coming from the Middle East to be resettled in the United States costs about $64,000 in the first five years.”
She said that’s about 12 times the cost of keeping them in Safe havens, and actually increases the chance that they maybe able to go home again.
Immigrants from the region in the past have been primarily military-aged young Moslem men. This picture was taken by Reuters yesterday of refugees in the Aegean Sea. Every single face is of a young, military-aged male. Not a single woman or child is seen.
Why not give precedence to Christian families because Christians are most at risk of death because Christians are undergoing genocide in the region?
President Obama has never spoken out about the ongoing and well documented Christian genocide.
