Second Congressional District Democrat Congresswoman Ann McLane Kuster backed legislation today that would prohibit the use of Federal funds to enforce President Trump’s Executive Order on travel bans because,
“America should serve as a beacon of hope around the world and President Trump’s executive action halting the acceptance of refugees only serves to undermine the standing and leadership of the United States,” said Congresswoman Kuster.
McKluster’s Press Release, which is titled Kuster Backs Legislation to Halt Trump’s Travel Ban, ignores entirely her support for H.R. 158, which would restrict entry to US for those who have traveled to Iraq or Syria during the preceding five years, or who have dual citizenship with Iraq, Syria, Iran or Sudan.
So she docked you for Dual Citizenship too? So If you were an American citizen and a citizen of the Sudan, Annie was out to get you?
Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015
(Sec. 2) This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act regarding the visa waiver program to require that an alien, when applying for program admission, possess a valid unexpired passport that:
- is machine-readable, tamper-resistant, incorporates document authentication identifiers, and otherwise satisfies the internationally accepted standard for machine readability; and
- beginning on April 1, 2016, is an electronic passport that is fraud-resistant, contains relevant biographic and biometric information, and satisfies internationally accepted standards for electronic passports.
A program country must certify that:
- it issues passports that satisfy the internationally accepted standard for machine readability, and as of April 1, 2016, passports that satisfy internationally accepted standards for electronic passports; and
- by October 1, 2016, except for travel between countries within the Schengen Zone (26 European countries that have abolished passport and any other border control at their common borders), it has in place mechanisms to validate such passports at each key port of entry.
(Sec. 3) An alien shall be ineligible for program participation who:
- has been present, at any time on or after March 1, 2011, in Iraq or Syria, in a country designated as one that has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism, or in any other country or area of concern designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); and
- regardless of whether the alien is a national of a program country, is a national of Iraq or Syria, a country designated as a country that has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism, or any other country or area of concern.
I don’t know Annie. It sounds like you had it out for the beacon of hope yourself.
Kuster has other contradictions to deal with as well. She wants to defund trumps visa restrictions but has no problem with the feds giving billions of tax dollars to religious organizations to bring refugees whom even the Obama Administration admitted could include terrorists) into the US.
I know Annie isn’t allowed to care about Terrorists sneaking in as refugees, but I thought there was a wall of separation between “church” and ‘state.’ Democrats refuse to let scholarships from private businesses in New Hampshire be used to fund private school education if those schools are religious, but Billions annually can
Democrats refuse to let scholarships from private companies in New Hampshire be used to fund private school education if those schools are religious, but Billions annually can go to refugee resettlement groups like Catholic Charities, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, and Church World Service.
And now we have Annie Kuster, Democrat from New Hampshire, playing the beacon of hope card, not long after she voted to make it harder for people from all of these same countries from traveling into the United States.
Way to go Hypocrite!
