Senate Republicans: Punish Vietnam for human rights abuses (http://thehill.com/policy/defense/266897-senate-gop-punish-vietnam-for-human-rights-abuses)


Senate Republicans want the Obama administration to crack down on Vietnamese officials who violate human rights.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) has introduced legislation that would block Vietnamese nationals connected to human rights abuses from traveling to the United States and freeze any assets currently under U.S. jurisdiction.

The legislation is backed by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is running for president, as well as Republican Sens. John Boozman (Ark.) and Bill Cassidy (La.).

The idiotic legislation is backed by Sen. Marco Rubio who is running for president. My word these Republicans are truly stuck in the cold war era days.

For every supposed human rights violation they can verify that happened in Viet Nam, I can find five that happened in the US which are worse.
