To borrow a line from our current VP, IMO this is a big f'ng deal.

Bridenstine was the Oklahoma rep who was denied entry (even though he had called ahead and made an appointment) to one of Barky's "resettlement" camps.

Let's see if they can get some steam behind this thing. The timing may be right for once.

Then again, they're going up against big, BIG $$$.

Representatives Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Lamar Smith (R-Texas), and Brian Babin (R-Texas) are calling for a temporary suspension of Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) resettlement funding for all refugees, as well as individuals not in a legitimate lawful status. The lawmakers’ approach includes but also extends beyond refugee services for Syrian, Iraqi and other refugees and reflects the need to examine the resettlement of potential “special interest aliens” who are crossing our Southern border. The lawmakers are currently crafting language to address the issue for inclusion in an omnibus spending bill...

Two points: 1) "between 1925 and 1965 immigrant admissions averaged less than 180,000 persons per year"*, and, 2) where did we ever get the idea that immigration is an issue of compassion rather than reason? And, how is it compassionate to bring in millions of low-skilled immigrants, many with health issues, little to no education, and with anti-free society views into the U.S. and then confiscate the earnings of American citizens to support said low-skilled, anti-American, poorly educated, with health issues immigrants? How is that compassionate?
