Now 24 Republican governors - and one Democrat - say they don't want to accept Syrian refugees
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 11/17/2015 6:46:11 AM PST by Enlightened1

President Obama said the United States needed to 'step up and do its part' admitting refugees from Syria

He said that the issue of refugees and terrorism should not be equated in the aftermath of the Paris attacks

A handful of Republican governors have publicly pronounced that their states would not accept Syrians

Obama made a swipe at those GOP leaders - asking them to be more like President George W. Bush in the aftermath of 9/11

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.'

However, Republican governors from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Texas and Wisconsin said they would postpone programs to bring in Syrian refugees, or they're against the idea entirely, according to the Associated Press.

Additionally, CNN reported that Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio and Tennessee are also on the list.

Kansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina were added by USA Today.

Our New and supposed Grand Leader of the House could cut the purse strings off of all of obuma’s next 14 months...drop him to his knees and tell him, when you can accept the fact that we don't want ‘Syrian refugees’ we will take up the discussion at that time....

But he won't, he'll bend over just like ‘drunken johnny’....

"The government has contracted with agencies like Catholic Charities to accept and move the refugees to 'processing centers' run by the agencies. This is happening now."

Catholic Charities...and others ???

Do Catholics or members of other denominations know about this? Do they care?

Do they care that their donations are being directed to the death cult muzzies and possible terrorists which will be invading our country? Isn't this feeding the mouths of those who will bite us when opportunity strikes?

Remember, as evinced by Europe, they do NOT assimilate in local communities. They build a mosque and that complex becomes their cultish, ideological, and social anchor....as well as their sharia law "court".

It beats me how a death cult, phony "religion" can so easily pull the wool over the eyes of the uninformed..... and/or bleeding-heart.....and/or guilt-ridden.....and/or stupid members of this country's religious communities....and blatantly USE them and their collection-plate money to further the invasion.

Hats off to the muzzies and their enablers, they sure know how to milk all of our social systems to get ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they want or need.....and we're paying for it.

I'll bet the lefty, one-world National Council of Churches is leading this parade of fleecing parishioners across the fruited plain.

Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services, and World Relief (of the National Association of Evangelicals) having been in the pay of the Feds to import Muslims and other non-Christians for decades now.

Catholic Charities is acting at the behest of the Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Others do it just for the money.

Unfortunately, you may be correct in your post.

It sure looks like it may come to a matter of which governors are willing to use the National Guard or local law enforcement to prevent these refugees from arriving in their states.

And the way the MSM goes, they’ll show old stock photos of George Wallace standing in the doorway of the admissions office at Alabama or worse yet, pictures of law enforcement lined up at the Pettus Bridge in Selma Alabama.

Any governor who wants to physically stop the refugees from arriving in their state should have a strong spine and a thick skin.

Very public postulating about “Syrians”.

Not so much about those illegal troublemakers flooding our non-existant Southern border and bringing their criminality to every state daily...

This, like every other lie coming out of a politician’s mouth, is just for show.

Thanks for the info.

It's a given that most people don't even THINK or know of the fact that countless religious agencies connected with various denominations are receiving SUBSIDIES and GRANTS (OUR MONEY) from the federal bureaucratic trough and manipulators to import streams of aliens and "refugees" into our nation.....and this has been going on for decades.

Folks, read my # 22 above.

I’ve been digging into fbo.gov to see awarded contracts, but I have not had much luck- sometimes they use cryptic names for contract awards. Maybe someone else can do better.

But rest assured that there are refugee-related federal contracts that have been awarded and are being executed.

Sorry, we have a incompetent Democrat Governor, Nixon. He is responsible also for the Ferguson distruction. I'm surprised that the Governor of Illinois has more sense.

When was the last time you saw 27 Governors pull out and dust off the 10th Amendment? That’s how bad things are with Ofail in office. He needs to be removed. Let Biden serve out the next 12 months. Forget impeachment just remove his sorry butt. He’s deliberately endangering our country.

PA is not only allowing but the Dem Gov and many Dem Mayors are actually asking for MORE!

Surprised at Montana.

Uber Libs like Ted Turner, Robert Redford and David Letterman have bought up vast swaths of land there. And that university makes Missoula one of the most Liberal towns in America.

Here’s a listing of government contractors who are implementing the importation and resettlement of immigrant refugees. I still have not stumbled across an actual contract. If we can do that we can follow the money, and start to raise local awareness.

The illuminati (illegitimi?) are asserting that the French are better off disarmed even after the Paris Massacre. Same as in Germany where even if Klaus has a gun permit he has no right of self defense.

In America, we have guns and the right to self defense, affirmed in most states. The illegitimi are gnashing their gums no end over this elephant in their room, knowing that if they send the police door to door to confiscate guns, there will be insurrection & chaos.

Currently in France, Germany, & U.K., the police can enter and search your home at any time, no warrant needed. Here the citizen puts out a doormat saying “Come Back With a Warrant!”

The Southern states are now in unified rebellion, again. What will Obama do, send in Delta Force? Federalize the National Guard like Little Rock in 1957? Does he want one, two, many Bundy-like armed standoffs? I think not.

Don’t hold your breath these will stand firm. Give them a few weeks when everyone forgets about France (and they will) and the governors will open it up again on the sly.

Every time the msm asks our leaders about terrorists and letting in any foreigner, they should stand up to state they were voted for by the citizens of the US and they will do their duty to the US citizens and protect them. They are not elected by foreigners. America first. Any leader who doesn’t, should be run out on a rail. Frankly, any state allowing any race, creed or color immigrant in these times should be shamed. Any state not enforcing the laws on the books to turn in illegals are not putting America first. All illegals need to be deported. Their employers fined. Sanctuary cities should get no tax dollars and their leaders arrested for aiding and abetting criminals. Welfare and all freebies should be stopped for illegals. All those on expired visas should be put on the first plane out. And we can start deportations in D.C.

Yeah, I know. It isn’t going to happen under this administration.
