House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, this week called for a “pause” in USA acceptance of Syrian refugees.
“We don’t have religious tests to our compassion”, he told journalists from high atop his soapbox. “This is a moment where it’s better to be safe than to be sorry”.
“Of course we want to keep terrorists out of our country, but let’s not punish the victims of ISIS for the sins of ISIS”, said Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, in a statement. “That’s not American”, Obama said on Monday, raising his voice.

She has appeared in a digital campaign video, using her story to highlight why the US needs a strategy in the Middle East. Her daughter has led his town hall audiences in the Pledge of Allegiance, all of which could complicate Bush’s potentially polarizing views on invoking a religious test to dole out aid. She wouldn’t disclose the religion of her family members who she says were turned away from the embassy, but she acknowledged that a few of her family members were, in fact, Muslim.
