Why don't GOP congress critters bring a vote/legislation against Muslim refugees?
Quit yapping on Fox - and DO something.
They vote on silly measures all the time knowing they will fail or have no teeth -so why not now on this important issue?

I think all they can do is with hold funds to execute the plan, if they do and Obama vetoes it, it will again be all the GOP's fault for the resultant government shutdown,

Obama vetos legislation and ignores immigration law anyway and brings all the immigrant trash and dumps it in everyone's neighborhoods.

You already know the answer to that. It's because this cowardly congress won't go on record on anything of import. They will only bother to vote on something like repealing Obamacare for the 61st time, or something equally inane. They hold both houses of Congress, but what have they done with them? Absolutely nothing.

But cheer up, I hear there is another repeal Obamacare vote coming soon...

They can't pass a law blocking it, Obama has discretion here.

They can choose to not fund these refugees.

However, Obama has some discretion with funding that is readily available.

I wish it was as easily as congress blocking Obama on this idiotic move of bringing in 185,000 Syrians..

Hum The Majority of Congress hasn't passed anything manful much less even address what Obama asked Congress to pass legislation to deal with WAR limitations...Hummm was this last year or the year before?? CAn't recall..BUT until Congress actually passes laws giving guidelines for their POTUS..Then all he has is to FOLLOW what GW passed over decade+ ago...

Blaming BO..is a rather hollow thing..as GOP Majority Congress refuses to address Immigration..War Power's Act..or any other meaningful legislation..They have spent 2 years..trying to defund ACA..Investigate Planned Parenthood..Investigate Benghazi..and media interview..calling BO a failure..even tho NONE of this majority actually votes on anything..unless it's to appease their lobbyists or BASE VOTERS..which ..

Present Congress won't even kick CAN down the Road since taking majority..yet ISIS has been forefront for years!! NOW want to blame BO...It's actually comical IF it wasn't so ridiculous "Political Gamesmanship"..

Do nothing Congress has graduated into a Do nothing/TOXIC Congress..and somehow expect to gain the Whitehouse come 2016??? Especially watching and hearing the front runners on the GOP stage's!!

But what would be infinitely more meaningful would be if democrats did it.
But they won't. Why is that?

Maybe because the Republicans hold and control both houses of Congress.
