Obama Moves To Override House GOP In Devastating Veto For Syrian Refugees... This Will Change Everything Earlier this week, President Obama threatened to veto important legislation that requires an intense screening of Syrian refugees. The bill calls for FBI background checks and sign-offs from top officials before a refugee can enter our country. The White House is standing behind Obamas statement, claiming that the bill would create significant delays and obstacles. Given the lives at stake and the critical importance to our partners in the Middle East and Europe of American leadership in addressing the Syrian refugee crisis[Obama] would veto the bill, the White house continued. Despite the concerns of leaders throughout the country, Obama continues to put the safety of refugees above the safety of American citizens. Slamming the door in the face of refugees would betray our deepest values, Obama tweeted yesterday. Thats not who we are. And its not what were going to do. Being compassionate doesnt mean we have to have reckless policies that put American lives at risk, Rep. Richard Hudson argued, defending the House bill. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama putting Americans at risk?
