Lawmakers from both parties are calling on President Obama to halt his plans to bring thousands of Syrian refugees to the United States, and are pledging legislative action and even limits on federal funding if he refuses.
Republican were quick to demand that Obama to hold off on the plan to resettle 10,000 Syrian migrants in the wake of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris last week. At least one of the terrorists is believed to have been a Syrian refugee, who entered the European Union through Greece.
"In light of the terrorist attack in Paris, I call on you to temporarily suspend the admission of all additional Syrian refugees into the United States pending a full review of the Syrian refugee resettlement program," House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said in a letter sent to President Obama Monday.
McCaul put forward legislation that would require congressional approval for refugees to be admitted into the country, and give priority to Iraqi and Syrian refugees from persecuted religious minorities, such as Christians........."
So.Obama says its a betrayal of our values to not take in refugees.
Where is it written that we are required to take in refugees at all?
Obama expressed no emotion at all about the carnage in Paris. But he sounded angry and emotional at the idea thst we would not take in refugees. What’s up with that???
As I look at that map (I love maps) there’s one block of color that really stands out. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MISSOURI? Can you imagine if displaced “refugees” with paperwork that says they’re law-abiding, peaceloving fighting age males from Syria mix it up with the Ferguoson crowd or get enrolled at MissouriU? What a blend of ideologies that would be!
The Governors need to be willing to use their full resources to either physically stop, or round up any refugees that Obama tries to place in their territory..
