On January 20, Democrats in the Senate blocked a vote on H.R. 4038, the so-called SAFE Act. This dangerous bill would have prevented innocent Syrian and Iraqi refugees from entering the United States. The US Senate wisely chose to offer refuge to people fleeing persecution, torture, and terror. Instead of politics-as-usual, America showed the world that a welcoming America is a strong America.
