Doesn’t matter. NOT accepting possibly terroristic Syrian refugees will be declared “unconstitutional” by edict of some Obama stooge judge, no explanation needed.

Like they won’t find a way to get out of Louisiana? Once they’re here - they’re here. It doesn’t matter what state takes them.

Since 75% or so of the immigrants leaving the Middle East are able-bodied males, aren’t those who accept them aiding and abetting the abandonment of women and children?

If these were truly emigres due to the area being “war torn”, why do they leave their women behind?

Unfortunately TX won’t seal it’s borders so the 10,000 that landed in LA can go to Enterprise, rent a car, drive to TX and do whatever they want. That fact that they’re not being settled here doesn’t keep them from coming here and causing trouble (although if they do I hope I’m in the vicinity when it happens).

We need to stop all Syrians, Mexicans, Californicationians, and liberals in general from coming to TX.
