BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – In a 289-137 vote, the House on Thursday easily approved legislation that requires new screening requirements on refugees from Syria and Iraq before they can enter the United States. Forty-seven Democrats defied President Obama’s veto threat and backed the bill — enough to override a presidential veto given the six Democrats and two Republicans who missed the vote. At a press conference, President Obama stated that he was disappointed and then added, “I am confident that 90% of the Syrian refugees we should’ve accepted would probably never be involved in any terrorist. Whether you are a democrat or republican, those numbers are very high and impressive, and I believe it would’ve given level thinking Americans a sense of security.”
