Hudson Hopes Senate Will Send Refugee Bill To Obama

RALEIGH — Expressing disappointment in President Obama’s threat to veto his bill requiring a more thorough screening process of refugees from Syria and Iraq, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8th District, said Thursday he hopes the measure gets the same veto-proof support in the Senate it received in the House. The bill passed by a 289-137 vote, with 47 Democrats joining all but two Republicans in support of the measure.
