Twenty-Nine Governors are asking President Obama to halt the Syrian refugee program, out of concern for the safety of their constituents.

There are currently 31 Republican Governors in office. Of these, 28 have said that they will not allow Syrian refugees into their state.

Governors around the country are concerned with Syrian refugees, in the aftermath of the Paris terrorist attacks. At least one of the Paris terrorists pretended to be a Syrian refugee in order to enter Europe and later take part in the attack Friday that led to the death of over 120 people....

One Democratic Governor has joined the list of Governors opposed to Syrian refugees.New Hampshire Democratic Governor, Maggie Hassan,...

Be relaxing. All is only refugee peoples..there is none of the terrorism coming with the borders.

[Signalman]

A full-blown GOP rebellion against the radical leftist in the WH.

Finally, something that makes me proud to be a registered Republican.

[fatnotlazy]

New Hampshire.

This is probably old news by now. Obama seems to be mainly sending refugees to states that the Democrats think they will lose in 2016 and to the swing states (swing states they think they'll lose, like Florida are getting them.)

If this rejection by the Governors holds up in court, I wonder what they will do. Do they want to risk angering voters in states they think they will win, probably not? Trump is really putting a wrench in their plans. :)

Hawaii has just announced they will take the refugees.

All states not wanting any should just reboard them on planes and send them to Hawaii.

[showme_the_Glory]

Hooly cow. I am not believing this story you are telling me. The peoples must be free to roam, and blowing the stuff up.

[Signalman]

Does Obama think these “refugees” are going to vote? Correct me if I’m wrong but only citizens can vote, correct?

[Enlightened1]

I’m surprised by Montana and Virginia.

Even Leftist Maryland and Massachusetts knows better.

Maybe Maggie is now the wiser....

Of course. But I would imagine that the people of that state will be very upset if they get too many or there is any problems from taking them. They voters could take their anger out on Hillary and anyone with a (D) by their name.

[Biggirl]

Yes, only citizens can vote.

RE: Maggie Hassan

Interesting family name. Hassan is normally an Arab first or last name; but, in the Jewish Sephardic - Mizrahi tradition, it is a Jewish surname.

There are currently 31 Republicans, 18 Democrats, and one independent that hold the office of governor in the states.

Who are the other two Republican governors who have not taken a stand?
