HUDSON RESPONDS TO OBAMA’S VETO THREAT
WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) responded to the president’s veto threat of his bill, the American SAFE Act:
“This veto threat is further proof that President Obama is out of touch. The American people want to be assured that terrorists aren’t exploiting our country’s compassion and posing as refugees. I am disappointed the president has issued a veto threat on this common sense, reasonable bill, and I encourage him to reconsider to keep terrorists out and the American people safe.”
On Monday, Rep. Hudson introduced the American SAFE Act (H.R. 3999) a common sense, reasonable bill that would halt the administration’s plan to take in thousands of refugees from Iraq and Syria until it can assure no terrorists or individuals with radical sympathies or views will be admitted. Rep. Hudson’s strategy, as well as critical requirements from the legislation, was used as the foundation of H.R. 4038, which is expected to be voted on by the House on Thursday.
