Court rules states have to accept Syrian refugees
The Washington Times ^ | October 3, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 10/03/2016 1:00:24 PM PDT by jazusamo

States that refuse to help resettle Syrian refugees are guilty of illegal discrimination, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, delivering a judicial rebuke to GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence, who as Indiana’s governor had tried to halt Syrian resettlement.

Judge Richard Posner, writing for the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, said there’s no evidence that Syrians are more dangerous, and he said even if they are, allowing Indiana to refuse to resettle them would only foist the problem onto neighboring states.

“Federal law does not allow a governor to deport to other states immigrants he deems dangerous,” Judge Posner wrote, saying the governor should instead report his fears to federal bureaucrats for redress.

No, if they are dangerous, they should not have been approved for entry into the US at all.

Yes, in spite of Trump’s layman-like bluster and visible exasperation, I disagree with nothing the man has said (even in his worst moments).

I believe he is convinced the USA is in collapse as much as I do and he is, also, as I am, truly alarmed.

My working theory is that the prissy and pressed polished professional career politicians and the corporate suits, with exquisitely correct facades have imploded our country.

I ask, who could possibly do worse?

I am more than ready to put Trump, the common man outsider in place, believing he has common sense and he can add and subtract. He is the diamond in the rough, at this tragic time in American history.

If it is not already too late.

God be with him, and with is.

And I’ll bet there is no way that this judge would ever call for Obama to obey existing Federal law on Immigration.

What is the judge going to do if states refuse them anyway?

Seems every time we have a judge which rules in our favor they are ignored. If the judge rules in favor of the left wing the case law goes forward.

every conservative needs to move out of their liberal states like , CA, MA, VT, NJ, NY etc and moved into swing , and red states, thus making them more conservative, and adding more of a electoral count.

FL, VA, NC, CO, NM, AZ, are taking applications.

The solution is bus tickets to DC for the soon to be leaving “newcomers”.

Amen. He has common sense, love of country, and best of all, he is a genius IQ and understands profoundly complex economics that eludes just about ALL politicians. God Speed to him and all things Trump. Praying earnestly for God’s Mercy and Grace, to restore America. Now or never.

If this wacko judge believe s it is discriminatory to refuse Syrian or other refugees into our nation, then I am guessing the judge is ok with letting these people resettle in his backyard....then his house. Where is the sanity?

Yep. It’s past time.
What’s been recently revealed is how far Soros money is reaching, down to state and LOCAL levels in some cases. It’s mind-boggling.

This year Obama flew in a whole division of terrorists and we are to welcome them to our neighborhoods? Vote Trump!

I bet this judge never comes in contact with even one of these Muslim invaders and has a very well protected life behind high walls from which he can have fun watching ordinary Americans sink into the degradation brought on by Obama’s invaders.
