America : The House has voted to Block Syrian Refugees
 

America does not trust them.

[More than half the nation's governors -- 27 states -- say they oppose letting Syrian refugees
into their states, although the final say on this contentious immigration issue will fall to the federal government. ]

Due to Paris 13Nov Terrorist Attack
Americans do not feel safe with them

I believe only families should be let in.

If your a young single traveller then that's a definite no for me.

Yes that would be better

I agree Adam. At least in the short-term.

now on hold


[President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the bill,
but many of his Democratic political allies
defected to help approve the measure by 289-137.]


America does not trust them.

if Obama vetoed the bill and something then happened, it would put an end to any democrat campaign for the presidency

Thank goodness Canada has a new gov't in power, or we would be following suit I am afraid.

There really is no need to block genuine refugee familes, just single men in their teens to 40's - in tandem with much more diligent checks at point of entry and close surveillance and monitoring of any 'borderline' cases who appear 'iffy'.

Let's be honest - up to now most 'asylum seekers' HAVE been young males.

I have just watched one lucky Syrian refugee who is already in the USA with his four sons and it is so patently obvious that he is a genuine refugee. It was moving when he described losing his baby child and when he expressed his gratitude to the US for taking him and his children in.

It is tragic, but it is ISIS to blame.
