   END PRESIDENT OBAMA'S LAWLESS AND DELUSIONAL REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT 
                                PROGRAM

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend State Senator 
Mark Norris and State Representative Terri Lynn Weaver for their work 
in the Tennessee General Assembly to authorize the State to enter into 
a lawsuit against the Federal Government. This lawsuit is over concerns 
with the refugee resettlement program and the 10th Amendment.
  I have put forth legislation at the Federal level, H.R. 4218, that 
would immediately suspend the Syrian refugee resettlement program.
  Yesterday, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback announced that he was 
withdrawing Kansas from the resettlement program because of security 
concerns. There is no way--no way--to vet these Syrian refugees, Mr. 
Speaker.
  Islamic radicals want to attack America. It is no secret to the 
American people. However, President Obama and this administration seem 
not to recognize this.
  I call on all of my colleagues to join me to stand against the 
President's lawless and delusional refugee resettlement program.
