GOP Congress fails us in ways you can't even imagine
As if we didn't have enough problems! National security expert J. Michael Waller has pointed out how the GOP helps promote the international Left's agenda in Congress either through ignorance or malevolence. I am not sure which it is or even which is worse. The result is the same. The Left moves its agenda forward and those we voted for--to stop the Left--play right along, while we hapless victims stare impotently from the sidelines.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) and ranking member Eliot Engel (D-NY), sent a joint letter dated October 16, to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson regarding Guatemala. In it they urge the administration to enforce the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, (P.L. 114-328, title XII, subtitle F), which allows the administration to enforce visa bans and other restrictions on influential Guatemalans known to be committing or facilitating acts of corruption. The letter also asks the administration to withhold FY 2017 assistance to the Guatemalan government until improvements are made.
