-- ... operating below the radar of taxpayers and without the approval or oversight of Congress or state legislatures. --

So there are programs outside of the Office of Refugee Resettlement! No surprise there.

Congress approves and funds bringing in of refugees.

He’s going to be putting Muslim TERRORISTS and any other Democrat Illegals into RED STATES in order to turn them BLUE!! He’s not putting them in New York, California, Oregon, etc...

No, he should not have considered opening the door. He should have said “after what we just saw in Paris, I believe this is too much risk for the people of Louisiana and as Governor, I will not allow it”

Skyrocket.

See. There you go. We know real guts when we see it.
And, me. I’m pecking away with resistance on my keyboard!

Let me see if I can get my arm up, and over my shoulder, to pat myself on the back.

I get you, dearest.

“If it did the Feds and the Supreme Court would step in.”

Exactly what would the Feds and SC do if they were met by 5,000 national guard troops and state troopers?

Are you suggesting that the US Army would go up against a State?

Right. My point being that the 0 would never be able to answer Jindal’s questions satisfactorily, and so therefore the Governor would never get to the point of even considering opening the doors.

I just read a report from WWL-TV correcting their earlier report and are now saying that ONLY 14 will be coming into the entire state of LA. And that a picture that has been circulating of nothing but young men that are reportedly the refugees is a picture of some men protesting somewhere overseas. The saga continues.

I don't know why you would think I suggested that?

But since you broached the question...I sincerely doubt that there would be 5,000 of any group to counter the feds. I could be mistaken...but is not the Ntl Guard part of the military? I could be wrong but I think a presidential command would supersede a governor's activation of the Guard. A “stand down” command, for instance.

The SC is more problematic, imho. They over rule the states regularly.

I did read that the Minn. governor is refusing any refugees at this point. That will be interesting to see how it plays out. I guess we'll see if there is still a 10th Amendment.

Agreed, just saying it’s a better response for him to turn them away preemptively

There is zero doubt in my mind that far, far more than 5,000 armed citizens and local and state authorities would show up if the feds tried to dump 10,000 Muslims around where I live. Federal authorities have no jurisdiction in any state save federally owned and controlled property. So if the feds wish to set up a refugee camp in say on federal prison grounds, they can, but those people cannot roam the state freely if that state does not want it.

And the SC has nothing but words, as no amount of federal words by them can stop local and state authorities from doing what they think best to protect its citizens.

I am retired and armed, and will certainly combine my own time with actions instead of just words.

“I would like to see that happen...but it won’t.
If it did the Feds and the Supreme Court would step in.”

You still adher to this belief as you witness Governors stepping in to do something to protect citizens?

I am telling you bluntly: this will not happen to states that oppose it.
