GOP Tries to Help, Dems Try to Block

The Hill reports Republicans are trying to pass legislation making background checks more stringent for Syrian refugees. It also reports Democrats are lining up to vote against trying to identify terrorists before they have a chance to harm Americans. This is typical Democrat anti-Americanism.

Later: It turns out 47 House Democrats voted with the Republicans in support of the measure. Whether they acted out of fear of voters or latent patriotism is unclear, but laudable nevertheless.

Fox News calls the measure's 289-137 win a veto-proof majority. Let's see what the Senate does.
