LANSING (WWJ/AP) – Michigan has one of nation’s largest Middle Eastern populations and Gov. Rick Snyder says he “would love to see it grow.”

The governor says Michigan can expect to see more Syrian refugees in the coming months as his administration continues talks with federal officials about the role the state can play in taking more refugees from war-torn Syria and the Middle East.

“The governor thinks it’s an economic plus,” reported WWJ Lansing Bureau Chief Tim Skubick. “And to those who fear that the immigrants would take away jobs, the governor says, Michigan has a record of immigrants coming in and actually creating jobs.”

The Republican governor spoke Tuesday to the inaugural meeting of the state Commission on Middle Eastern American Affairs in Lansing. The board works within the Department of Civil Rights to monitor, evaluate and make recommendations to the governor.

Those inbred ragheads in saudi arabia or some such place, they are paying these high profile people to say this. There's no other explanation.

Except, the only alternative is that liberals are truly, without question, too stupid for words. Stoooooooopid! Unbelievable.

America seems to want to follow in Germany’s footsteps and sign its death warrant.

It’s hard to wrap the mind around the insanity that grips this once-great country.

No matter how many muslimes he brings in the Constitution guarantees every state a Republican form of government.

Here’s an idea: Instead, why don’t we send back every one of them that we can? We also should close the mosques here and treat the POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY of Islam the way we treated Communism in the 1950s. Known Muslims should be carefully monitored by law enforcement.

Another paid hack from the Open Border Lobby.

Precisely what is wrong with the Republican party.

The libs (constituents) ARE overjoyed. Until this population actually does grow.

And they’re living across the street, and their call to prayer bell ding dongs 20x’s a week, and there are foot baths in restrooms, and Korans for sale at B&N, and shops are banned from carrying any pork products, and wine festivals are null and void, and on and on. Then...these same libs move south. And they vote for this insane BS again.

What a dork!

Let the Syrians move into Detroit’s inner city.

They’ll decimated by the inner city gangs or be out on the next flight for Damascus...

I think Michigan will be the first state to fall.

The first Middle East refugees into Detroit were Christians fleeing the muslim radicals.

And then the muslim radicals began to move to Detroit.

Snyder isn't running again so his inner liberal is allowed to flow forth.

Granholm’s third term in many ways, this is one of them.

Snyder can’t say no to fed dollars, never mind the strings attached.

“No matter how many muslimes he brings in the Constitution guarantees every state a Republican form of government.”

For right now. Things can change. Who would have ever thought that gay marriage is in the Constitution, been there unnoticed for over two hundred years, waiting to be noticed.

Or that the “shall not be infringed” in the second amendment does not really mean “shall not be infringed”, but just the opposite. Or, if it does, it was written by white slaveholders and should not be taken seriously.

As long as slick Rick goes over and hand picks each and every one, and than he takes personal responsibility for them learning english, and assimilating, I am good with it.
