Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend State Senator Mark Norris and State Representative Terri Lynn Weaver for their work in the Tennessee General Assembly to authorize the State to enter into a lawsuit against the Federal Government. This lawsuit is over concerns with the refugee resettlement program and the 10th Amendment.

I have put forth legislation at the Federal level, H.R. 4218, that would immediately suspend the Syrian refugee resettlement program.

Yesterday, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback announced that he was withdrawing Kansas from the resettlement program because of security concerns. There is no way--no way--to vet these Syrian refugees, Mr. Speaker.

Islamic radicals want to attack America. It is no secret to the American people. However, President Obama and this administration seem not to recognize this.

I call on all of my colleagues to join me to stand against the President's lawless and delusional refugee resettlement program.
