Issue:

ADMITTING UNVETTED SYRIAN REFUGEES TO THE US: TAKE ACTION: To prevent this, Congress can 1) defund this refugee program; 2) enforce all current, anti-terrorism laws; 3) pass specific legislation to prevent up to 10,000 now (and up 200,000 in 2016 and 2017); and/or 4) help fund Syrian settlements in the Middle East to prevent unvetted refugees from Syria (a terrorist nation) from resettling in the US. If you support these options, tell Congress which option(s) do you support and why. [BACKGROUND: Even after the Paris and San Bernardino terrorist attacks, President Obama is proceeding unilaterally and immediately to resettle 10,000, unvetted, Syrian refugees within the US. These would receive welfare, healthcare, food stamps, and burden our educational system (because they do not speak English), and many of them could also be terrorists. Further, the US currently has no way of vetting these refugees.]
