"With opposition, the measure fails. This House will move to take up the "America's Safety Act.", as amended. The clerk shall read the bill."

The United States Initiative To Vow Refusal to Syrian Migrants
The American's Safety Act


The United States Initiative to Vow Refusal to Syrian Migrants is a bill proposed by Senator Jack Scalise and calls for the acceptance of no migrants from Syria, except those who have gone through an extensive screening process. As noticed in the European nations, the Syrian migrants have done nothing but cause problems in the said nations. Very few have gotten jobs and most are living off of the extensive welfare offered by the generous European Welfare States. While made out to be families, anywhere between 72-85 % of these migrants are military age, unmarried, childless, men. These men have shown to have strict interpretation on Islam and every country they've been in has been subject to mass rape and a rise in terror and violence. Seeing as the US doesn't need to involve itself in this mess, this bill says that the US government does NOT take in any Syrian migrants without the proper screening, and only brings in a very small number of said migrants. Lest our great nation be subject to the horrors that face Europe.

Section 1:
Starting in 2014, when Angela Merkel the chancellor of Germany said that she would "throw open the gates of Europe" to Syrian "refugees", The refugee crisis as it is known has led to chaos and disorder. One needs only to look at Sweden for confirmation. Where thanks to migrants there are 123 men to every 100 women. And Sweden has become the rape capital of Europe. Opposition to the migrants first began with the mass rapes in Cologne Germany on New Year's eve by Islamic migrants. And since then has grown to be a serious movement as many realize that letting in millions of unknown men who follow a dangerous and hateful ideology into your nation could possibly cause the doom of your country. Rape and crime rates have risen in Europe and most of the migrants are unemployed. They have proven to be nothing but a burden and a danger to Europe, and would be the same in The United States. As such this bill requests that it be the intentions of The US government to accept Syrian migrants, only after intense screening.

Section 2:
The bill also puts forth the request that the United States, in cooperation with the rest of the world, establish communities in Syria where those distraught by the war could live in shelter with steady supplies.

House Floor


"Given the significant changes made to the bill through amendment in the United States Senate, the current formal title of the bill little fits its action. I move to amend the current bill by striking the Title of "The United States Initiative To Vow Refusal to Syrian Migrants", to be replaced with "The United States Initiative to Ensure Proper Screening of Migrants", and to strike out the preliminary text of the bill, from "The United States Initiative" to "face Europe", without replacement, and to strike out text in Section 1 from "Starting in 2014" to "As such", without replacement, capitalizing the following word "This.""

Senate Floor


"With a majority in favor, the motion is carried. This Senate will move into voting procedure on the "Restoring Local Authority to Services Act". The clerk shall call the roll."

Official Name: Restoring Local Authority to Services Act
Nickname: Vermont Medicaid Provision Act

Overview: Grants control of federal mandatory entitlement programs to the governments of the states.

Section 1: Recent actions, in Vermont in particular, have highlighted issues with the current U.S. system of mandatory entitlements. As it currently stands, the federal government imposes standards on all fifty states, despite significant differences in demographics, location, size, economy, environment, and ideology.

The tensions in this system have been shown with recent actions, ranging from Governor Danders of Vermont requesting for Congress to grant the state a waiver from the current federal system in an attempt to create a mandatory universal healthcare service, or intent by various conservatives to allow greater choice in the current system.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, with Governor Danders currently the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, it is the intention that this Congress grant him his request, and allow for state-level control of these programs, so they may be better used for the specific needs of each state.

Section 2: Hereby instates all legal authority over current systems of taxation within the border of a state, and all funds garned through that system, within the boundaries of the the impositions dedicated and directed to fund these programs, naming in specific Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, to the duly elected governments of the state in which said impositions are imposed.

Section 3: Formally and legally extends current legal systems of eligibility, payment, and any regulation on the named systems to the state, with the duly elected governments of each state then given authority to amend such regulations by their representative vote.

Section 4: Legally devolves in an identical fashion the controls, impositions, and revenue to the District of Columbia in an identical matter as is done for other states.

Section 5: Provides for a period of transition in the transference of these funds via maintaining federal aid and administration in their administration until the conclusion of the fiscal year.
