Rogers strongly opposed the bill because funding for Obamas Syrian Refugee plan was included in the legislation. I am outraged that the bill that passed today did not prohibit funding for President Obama to bring refugees from the Syrian conflict to America. What happened in California demonstrates that Islamic terrorists are ready and willing to use our lax immigration system to enter our country to do us harm. Now, President Obama will be able to carry out his plan to let thousands of refugees from the Syrian conflict into the U.S. I have no confidence that these refugees can be properly vetted by this Administration. President Obamas plan is dangerous and I will continue to fight against it. Rogers said. - ### - | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
