RYAN-PELOSI BUDGET DEAL DOES NOT BLOCK REFUGEES
GOP leader describes $1.1 trillion government-funding bill as 'partial victory'
(POLITICO) Speaker Paul Ryan told House Republicans on Monday night that the yearlong $1.1 trillion government-funding bill contains policy victories for the GOP, but not as many as lawmakers will want, according to multiple sources on a party conference call.
Ryan (R-Wis.) has been negotiating with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for several days on the policy specifics of the massive spending bill, and an accompanying package to extend business-focused tax breaks.
Ryan has promised to give lawmakers three days to review the package, which sets up a Thursday vote. The government shuts down Wednesday evening, so the House and Senate will have to clear a short-term stopgap spending bill to allow Congress to pass the longer-term legislation.
Ryan declined to get into specifics about the bill on the call, but promised he would go through the details of the legislation in a closed party meeting Tuesday, and would talk to the press about what he considers “wins” in the legislation. For example, Republicans have secured the lifting of a decades-old ban on exporting U.S. oil. But, GOP attempts to insert language into the bill to impose tougher controls on Syrian and Iraqi refugees were unsuccessful.

My comments: Republicans SURRENDER to Obama on the Issue of Muslim Refugees, giving Obama the Ability to bring as many Muslims to the US as he wants at whatever the Cost. This is a Complete ABDICATION of their responsibility to the WILL of the American People. The Republicans prove to be as TYRANNICAL as the Democrats.
