The House could vote Thursday resolution 4038, which seeks to block the government's plan to welcome 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year.
"Because lives are at risk and the critical importance for our allies in the Middle East and Europe US leadership in resolving the crisis of Syrian refugees, the president veto the law 4038 in the event that it is presented "the White House said in a statement.
Released by the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee of the House of Representatives, Michael McCaul, Paris after the attacks that left 129 dead, the bill seeks to tighten the conditions for authorizing the entry of Syrian and Iraqi refugees to States United.
The project requires the director of the FBI, Homeland Security Secretary and the Director of National Intelligence certify that each of the applicants for asylum in the United States are not a threat to security.
"This law introduces unnecessary and impractical demands that unacceptably hamper our efforts to help some of the world's most vulnerable people, many of whom are victims of terrorism, and erode (the effort) our allies in the Middle East and Europe to resolve the refugee crisis, "the White House said.
