Michigan Township Votes to Bar Syrian Refugees
Epoch Times / Associated Press ^ | 10/26/2016

The Waterford Township board has approved a resolution to stop participating in a federal resettlement program for Syrian refugees until security issues are addressed.

The Detroit News reports the board on Monday cited congressional testimony of federal authorities that refugees from “failed states such as Syria cannot be adequately vetted to ensure that they do not have terrorist ties because the necessary records do not exist.”

I love the line 'The township’s resolution notes the high number of refugees resettling in Michigan, saying the influx has created “significant unfunded financial burdens.”'. I wonder how much money the township was getting?

First thing I thought was, ‘Good for them’ - followed closely by, ‘What liberal weapon will be wielded against them to make them come to heel?’

No need for that.

The board’s action may be moot, because states cannot legally bar refugees; the federal government has jurisdiction over refugee placement.

No “immigrants” will be located in or near any Congresscritter’s neighborhoods.

Obama will double down and send hordes of Somalis instead. He will make them pay.

I live here, this is my hometown! I’m so glad since I don’t want to get attacked while walking to the store or going out on my evening walk.

Chrissake I hope not. I don’t have a car and I go out for evening walks. This is the LAST thing I need to have happen.

Remember when you go to vote; Hillary wants to increase ‘refugees’ by 500%!!!

Donald may not be able to build the wall he wants, but he will do his best. HE WILL PUT ENOUGH GUARDS ON THE BORDER TO KEEP ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO BRING DRUGS, DISEASE AND CRIME INTO OUR AMERICA- WHILE COSTING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS BILLIONS!

I would like to be first in line to sign up for Trump’s Border Guard duty with Trump’s GOE, as long as all ammo is provided!

Federal Money for refugees, federal money to Iran, federal money to “foundations” for jobs and play.

The elected officials in this country would sell their own daughters for money.
