Congressman Steve King released the following statement after submitting his amendment, defunding the Refugee Resettlement Process, to the omnibus spending bill: It is the obligation of Congress to restore its Article I Constitutional authority and the balance of power, said King. This omnibus is the best opportunity to support and defend our Constitutional authority. How can we trust this Obama Administration who will not utter the words radical Islamic jihad to accurately screen refugees coming into the United States? For years we have had thousands of illegal immigrants coming across our boarders falsely claiming refugee status. The safety and security of the American people is paramount which is why my amendment defunds the refugee resettlement process for this fiscal year. This gives Congress time to craft a thoughtful refugee policy to help build a culture in America that honors Americanism. This is the seventh of nine amendments I submitted to make the omnibus spending bill a bill that fulfills the promises we all made to our constituents in 2014 and to restore Article I Constitutional authority to the United States Congress.
