I strongly oppose President Obamas reckless plan to allow thousands of refugees from Syria and regions controlled by ISIS into the U.S. ISIS is currently using the refugee crisis as a pipeline to move Islamic terrorists into Europe. Especially after the attacks in Paris, we cannot and will not risk our national security for the sake of misplaced compassion and allow this Islamic terrorist pipeline to reach the United States. This bill is the first step in the process to halt the Administrations actions. Additionally, I plan to oppose any funding for President Obamas refugee program when Congress considers the years final appropriations bill in December, Rogers said. H.R. 4038 passed the House by a vote of 289 to 137, a veto proof majority of members voting today, and supported by the entire Alabama Delegation. -###- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
