House Overwhelmingly Votes To Require Better Vetting Of Refugees

The LA Times tries a little bit misdirection. …oh, who am I kidding, their headine and first paragraph is a bald face partisan lie, unless… Tapping heightened safety concerns after the Paris terror attacks, House Republicans — joined overwhelmingly by Democrats — approved legislation Thursday effectively halting the resettlement of refugees from Syria and Iraq to the U.S. That’s designed […]

Mother Jones: Liberals Should Pretend They Care About Threat From Syrian Refugees
