…..And, to rein-in the refugee resettlement contractors who have been lobbying hard on this bill to make it easier for more refugees and asylum seekers to enter the US, as well as give the contractors more of your tax dollars.
This post is cross-posted from Potomac Tea Party Report:
Erick Erickson at RedState posted this commentary by Senator Ted Cruz—here we go again, voting on a monster (over 1000 pages) bill without sufficient time to read it. Why the rush—because the public is starting to catch on to the horrors in it!
And, if you are thinking it will be O.K. in the House forget it! They could pass anything in the House and when they go to conference committee, the conferees could take the whole Senate version as the final bill.
Erickson went on to post this list of the key swing Senators (and yes, he wants you to call the architects of the “deal” Corker and Hoeven too):
