Middle East Refugee Crime is Exploding
Fellow Conservative,
As you know, Europe is in absolute shambles. Their refugee crisis is absolutely ripping the continent apart and threatening to lead to major countries like Great Britain leaving the European Union.
Now, documents have leaked showing that between 2014 and 2015, Middle Eastern refugees have been responsible for more than 200,000 crimes in Germany alone. That is just one country.
Now here is the kicker: almost every single refugee that Obama is bringing into the country is coming by way of Europe and we are powerless to even choose who we are letting in!
That’s right, the Obama administration has given the United Nations the power to vet and pick which refugees are allowed to apply for asylum in the United States.
So not only are we letting in people who are absolutely impossible to vet – and are committing hundreds of thousands of crimes in Europe – but we aren’t even allowed to choose who we take. Obama has given that power to the UN.
Unbelievable.
There is a piece of legislation languishing in Congress that would put a stop to all of this. The American SAFE Act would stop all Middle East refugees from entering the country until the government can guarantee 100% background checks.
The bill passed the House with a veto-proof, bipartisan majority. But it came 5 votes short of the 60 vote threshold in the Senate.
Even though these Senators agreed with the premise, they were instructed to vote against the bill to save Obama the embarrassment of having to explain to the American people why he refused to guarantee their safety.
Now, GOP leaders are giving up.
Not so fast…
They could pass this bill right now if they wanted to and put it on Obama’s desk by Monday. All they need to do is bring the legislation to a vote through reconciliation and it can pass the Senate with a simple 50-vote majority. This is the parliamentary tool that Harry Reid used to pass Obamacare before Scott Brown was able to arrive in DC and vote against it.
All it takes is for Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to make a decision. But they don’t want to. Like their predecessors, they are more than happy with pretending to do something and then accepting defeat when they fall just short.
Well, that is not good enough. We have seen what is happening in Europe. We have seen the rapes, the muggings, the murders… There was a girl who was raped and assaulted by a refugee recently in Germany and she was shamed into apologizing to him. It’s just so backwards.
We’ve seen the destruction that can come from letting just one terrorist slip through. Look at what happened in San Bernardino. There is no acceptable number of American lives lost to pursue Obama’s politically correct agenda!
There is no excuse for how quickly the GOP folded on this. Not only did they have clear public support, but a veto-proof majority in the House.
When McConnell and Ryan took over, they promised that they would start putting pieces of legislation on Obama’s desk and forcing him to either sign it or explain to the American people why he was vetoing common-sense bills.
That seems to have been all talk.
But these people work for us. They might think that they work for the special interests and the lobbyists, but at the end of the day, we’re the ones who pull the levers and send them back to Washington.
They think that they can let Obama import these unvetted Syrian refugees into the country and we will completely forget that they let it happen.
No way!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto
