13 Senators and 71 Members of Congress sent a letter to President Obama on Friday urging the administration to hurry-up with the “screening” process for Syrian refugees and get them here more quickly.
Previously we told you about the Senate Jihad Caucus which called for MORE Syrians to be admitted to the US. Looks like we have more Senators to add to the Caucus.
(97% of the Syrians admitted so far are Muslims chosen by the UN.)
This effort was spearheaded by Senator Richard Blumenthal who, as we pointed out here, appears to be in the thrall of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
From the Independent Journal:
Last week, 84 Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to the departments of State and Homeland Security urging them to expedite the security clearing process for Syrian refugees coming to the United States.
The letter, sent Friday, followed only one day after the heads of the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center warned in a Senate hearing that the intelligence community lacks enough information to ensure Syrian refugees pose no danger to the United States.
The signatories — 13 Senators and 71 Representatives — are all Democrats.
Go here and see if your Senators and Member of Congress are on the list of members who signed a letter disregarding American security to advance their own agenda.
