Hudson's Bill Passes house with Veto-Proof Majority

Statement

Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson's (NC-08) bill, the American SAFE Act of 2015, passed the House with veto-proof majority, 289 -- 137.

"The People's House has spoken -- Republicans and Democrats came together in a veto-proof majority to respond to the will of the American people and do our primary job to keep them safe," said Rep. Hudson. "Today's strong bipartisan vote doesn't say stop Syrian and Iraqi refugees and don't ever let them in again. It says pause the program unless and until the top security officials in the United States are comfortable that we have a safe and reliable process and the American people can be assured that terrorists aren't exploiting our country's compassion by posing as refugees. I encourage our colleagues in the Senate to swiftly take up this common sense, reasonable bill to keep terrorists out and the American people safe."
