Today Congressman Ken Buck joined a bipartisan majority in voting for H.R. 4038, a bill that pauses the resettlement of Syrian refugees to the United States. The bill passed with 289 votes in support, and only 137 opposed. In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, this legislation gives Congress and the President time to determine a process that will keep Americans safe. ISIS has declared war on the world, Congressman Buck stated. Our first priority is keeping Americans safe, which is what this bill does. We must put a hold on all Syrian refugee resettlement until we can determine how to ensure Americans safety. Buck continued, I urge President Obama to sign this legislation immediately, because Americans should spend the Thanksgiving holiday celebrating our blessings in this country, not worrying about terrorist attacks.
