What then is Congress to do to stop the President from carrying out a plan the voters oppose and Congress has not approved? The answer lies in the power of the purse. Each and every year the President submits a request to Congress to fund his Refugee Admissions Program. Only with these funds can the President carry out his plans. Congress. which has been run over time and again by this President. must not write the blank check the President is asking for. He can also bring in more refugees than he has currently indicated. Secretary Kerry has told the Judiciary Committees of the House and Senate they just may well bring in more than this. My colleague Senator SHELBY and I outlined in a joint statement that the answer is for Congress to include in the yearend funding bill a clear requirement that the President must submit his annual refugee plan to Congress for approval. Senator SHELBY is on that Appropriations Committee. Under this plan. Congress must approve how many refugees are brought in and from where. Mr. President. is it time to wrap up?
