QuoteThe Obama administration stepped up its assurances that it can keep terrorists from mixing with incoming Syrian refugees as a top Senate Democrat voiced reservations about a resettlement program already under fire from Republicans.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who will take over as the Democratic leader in the chamber in 2017, said "a pause may be necessary" on the entry of Syrians fleeing civil war. House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, both Republicans, earlier called on the administration to put those plans on hold.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California said the chamber plans to vote Thursday on legislation that would block Syrian refugees from entering the country unless four top U.S. law-enforcement and national security officials affirm to Congress that none of them is a security threat. The FBI director also would have to certify that background checks were completed for all refugees. The measure will be based on one offered by Representative Richard Hudson of North Carolina.

"This is just a start" for legislative action on terrorism and refugees, McCarthy told reporters before a private security briefing for House members.

That's rich! The compromised FBI certifying background checks where there are no backgrounds to check. 

As for the 'Syrians', I suppose the FBI could check with Assad for any background info.....oh,........wait!! 

Even Diane Feinstein's ignorant arse is against this crapola, now that the world is post Paris.

And she's as leftist liberal dimwit, as you can get!

Chuck Schumer also celebrated Bomb Day (August 6)
by panning The Illegitimate One's nuclear deal with Iran.

As terrible a leftist as he is, he does understand what a threat Islam is -
mostly because he knows they want to target Israel and Jews first.

It's surprising to me, how liberal's who were so upset by the way Bush handled America's 9-11 and then the war in Iraq and Afghanistan for example. Who were oh so worried about waterboarding terrorist's at gitmo. Who refused to call them what they are, radical islamist savage barbarian's. Are also those who are now in Congress talking openly about the need, not to reach out and conduct outreach to these savage's. But rather the need to wipe Islam as an ideology from off the face of Planet Earth.

Add Democrap Governour Hogan of Maryland to the list of 27 state Govs who oppose Muz resettlement intheir respective states.....more to follow I,m sure, we're still working or McAwful in Virginia
