California's roll of dishonor

The following Democratic Congresscritters voted Thursday to further impede some minuscule number of refugees from the Syrian civil war from reaching our shores.

• Pete Aguilar (CA-31)

• Ami Bera (CA-07)

• Julia Brownley (CA-26)

• Jim Costa (CA-16)

• John Garamendi (CA-03)

• Janice Hahn (CA-44)

• Scott Peters (CA-52)

• Raul Ruiz (CA-36)

The current panic is Republican hate theater. The "vetting" (bureaucratic hoops and endless delays) to which refugees are subjected is so cumbersome that we have allowed entry to less than 2000 people, mostly children and elders, in the last four years.

These cowardly Congresscritters are aiding Daesh (ISIS), demonstrating that we share the terrorists' disdain for victims of violence. Would they have voted to leave Anne Frank to her fate under the Nazis in 1939? Most likely. In the spring of that year, according to the Holocaust Museum, Congress allowed a bill to die in committee that would have admited 20,000 Jewish children.
