Now, 25 Republican governors – and one Democrat too – have said they don't want Syrian refugees in their states, as President Obama recommitted the U.S. to take a portion of this population fleeing from ISIS.
In a press conference this morning in Turkey, Obama said that 'the United States has to step up and do its part,' while chiding those in the opposition party for suggesting there be a 'religious test' for entry into the United States.
There's concern, after Friday's brutal attack in Paris, that ISIS fighters are infiltrating those fleeing Syria and will carry out future violence against the West. 'It is very important,' Obama said. 'That we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism.'

Unless these governors will actual DO something...
It all just political posturing so they can’t be blamed for the next muslim attack...
Two more states and it will be a majority.
Bad math. THREE.
Dear Governors, please keep me from being machine-gunned at the local mall. Thank you.
It's not easy living among stupid liberals.
Simple solution: send them to the states who do not object.
My governor is just doing his job. Way to go Gov. Pence.
It really doesn’t matter which states take them and which do not. They are a Greyhound bus ride from your town, once they arrive.

Egyptian Billionaire Contacts Owners To Buy an Island for Refugees

Naguib Sawiris is willing to spend up to $200 million after first proposing the idea on Twitter
An Egyptian billionaire has contacted the owners of two islands to buy a Greek island to provide housing and jobs for the refugees and migrants that are fleeing crises in the Middle East.
After floating the “crazy idea” on Twitter earlier this month, the office of Naguib Sawiris said the 61-year-old has contacted the owners of two private islands and is now hoping to get the Greek government involved. Earlier this week, he told Newsweek that he had he yet to receive a formal response to his idea from Greece or Italy, the two nations whose islands he first proposed buying.
“We are seeking the [Greek] government’s consent to be willing to take care of the administrative process of permitting entrance of refugees to the island, which will fall under Greek jurisdiction,” reads a memo he shared on Twitter on Monday. The memo refers to the project as Aylan Island, named for the 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi, whose body was discovered on a Turkish beach after a boat carrying his family capsized en route to a Greek island.

Sawiris said he would spend up to $200 million on the project and that he had received 10,000 emails from potential donors and volunteers.
He also had harsh words for his critics.
“I would tell them that’s what I came up with, if you have a better idea, you are welcome,” he said. “The rule in my corporate world, anybody who criticized my solution and does not have any better solution, I would tell them to shut the f—k up.”
The TN RINO governor has ASKED that the feds not send any more Syrians, pretty please?
Maybe they should go to Ferguson, Missouri?
Actions speak louder than words, If Jindal ordered his national guard to the port and blocked the unloading of these illegals he would have started the ball rolling. Stop talking and take a stand
I get it.
Didn’t Connecticut also say they want these dangerous Syrians?
Don’t look at me I didn’t vote for him...
Trump may have this wall thing understated. Maybe we need a wall along the border..... and walls around a few of our major, liberal cities. Drop them in those walled cities and let the melting pot melt.
Anybody heard from head RINO Gov of Ohio?
Good point my FRiend
Send them to Detroit.
That city looks like a war zone.
The Syrians will feel right at home.
