>> States that do not comply with the requirement would be breaking the law and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension or termination of the federally funded program

Wait... what? Did I read that right?

The penalty for not allowing Syrian refugees would be to lose federal funding for the resettlement program? So there would be no federal money to settle refugees?

THROW US IN THAT BRIAR PATCH!

Obama needs to point to the language in the Constitution which gives the federal government exclusive control over refugees.

I’ll wait.

Tell him to take his programs and shove them up his Muslim ass.

Good Idea. Then we can send a letter of our own and copy to our governors.

Someone give me chapter and verse where the US Constitution gives this power to the Federal government over a State. What am I missing?

[jazusamo]

Absolutely!

[gaijin]

Why do we have a Congress...?

I don’t get it.

THROW US IN THAT BRIAR PATCH!’.................................

“including suspension or termination of the federally funded program, according to the letter, signed by the director of the federal resettlement office, Robert Carey.”

Good. Terminate this insane program.

Can I take it to Andrew personally, Italian to Italian :)

He’s as bad as his father. Worse, maybe.

[Secret Agent Man]

Bs they don’t.

Fedgov needs 100% dismantling and a small constituional rebuild. And we start removing judges and pols for bad behavior, crimes and misemeanors. We just start doing it

[Mollypitcher1]

LOL Why not! :>)

Forget the will of the people, he’s America’s self-proclaimed king!!!

Not to mention these invaders aren’t really refugees. They’re in the majority of the religion where they’re coming from. So, they’re not facing ‘religious’ oppression.

Put them up in a safe zone, in a majority Muslim country like Saudi or somewhere in ME.

“Ficcatelo su per il culo”...= “Shove it up your ass”...meaning obuma!!!

[AmericanExceptionalist]

Since when has the Obama regime ever let “lack of authority” under the law ever stop them?

Excellent point!

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Fine. Let’s bring it to the Supreme Court. Let the administration drag this even more into public awareness, an show how they care more about their ideology than the safety of American children.

[Mollypitcher1]

Great one! Anybody else?
