| http://mchenry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398044 | A Common Sense Step to Protect Our Homeland | 2015-11-19 | 2015 | 2015-11 | Republican | House | NC | Patrick McHenry | M001156 | mchenry.house.gov | legacy | Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement after House passage of H.R. 4038, the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act of 2015: Throughout our history, no country has done more to assist the innocent bystanders to foreign conflicts than the United States. Howeveras evidenced by the horrific attacks in Paristhe grave danger posed by ISIL and Islamic extremism require a reevaluation of our strategy. With passage of the SAFE Act, the House has taken an important step towards ensuring all refugees brought to the United States are properly vetted and certified by not just law enforcement but also our intelligence community. It is a common sense step to protect our homeland and provide safety to all Americans. In spite of the SAFE Acts bipartisan support, President Obama has threatened a veto. This is regrettable but not surprising from a leader who has consistently shown he would rather disparage political opponents than present a realistic strategy to defeat ISIL and the global threat posed by radical Islam. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
