Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in using the power of the purse to stop the reckless policies of President Obama that leave the citizens of the United States vulnerable. Americans overwhelmingly support this. The FBI, DNI, and DHS have testified that they cannot fully screen the thousands of refugees that the President wants to bring in from Syria, Somalia, Iraq, and other regions with high rates of terrorism. Illegal immigrants from Syria, Libya, Somalia, and other hotbeds of terrorism continue to test the openness of our southern border. The loopholes in the screening of immigrants from hotbeds of terrorism are being exploited, and the administration opposes closing them. This House has one chance, the end of the year appropriations bill, to end these dangerous policies. This Member of Congress will vote against any bill rushed to the floor that fails to stop these reckless policies. Let's put aside political correctness, criticism from foreign nationals that leave Americans vulnerable. This is our chance to stop future San Bernardinos, Parises, Chattanoogas, Garlands, and Ft. Hoods. The lives of these American citizens are worth it. Indeed, they cry out for it. ____________________”
