I was wondering if a poll would come out on this. Looks like one has and it is not good news for Obama. The majority want a halt to this nonsense.
Obama doesn’t give a rat’s *ss what Americans think.
Hey, he got the gig, to h*ll with Americans and America.
It isn’t our country anymore. Why should he care what we think?
Only 2 to 1? we are screwed!
Some very stupid people and some very smart people allowed this guy to have a second term. I feel sorry for the stupid people because, after all, when you are born dumb you stay that way a long time. For the very smart people I have nothing but contempt and loathing for their participation in what is happening to the country.

The answer may be political
In this specific situation, the best bet is probably not for the states to argue a strictly legal case, but to seek to win the political argument. The negative fallout from Obamacare has decimated Democrats ranks at both the state and federal levels. Democrats have lost both the House and the Senate, dozens of Governors and Attorneys General, and hundreds and hundreds of state legislative seats.
With about half the states already stepping forward to say they do not want unvetted Syrian refugees and they will refuse to participate or fund any such efforts, this puts two types of political pressure on the Obama administration. First, with that many states refusing to fund the handling of any Syrian refugees, this becomes a more costly operation for the federal government to manage.
Second, with the 2016 elections rapidly approaching, and so many vulnerable Democrats on the ballot in the states whose Governors want to refuse Syrian refugees, it would not be surprising if Obama got pressure, both openly and behind the scenes, from members of his own party. It is noteworthy that the list of states participating includes both early primary states Iowa and New Hampshire, as well as swing states like Florida and Ohio.
This story is, once again, an illustration of the importance of local and state elections. The reason this issue is making news is due in no small part to the increased numbers of Governors who are Republicans. Local elections matter.

Surprised by the headline. I’d have thought waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than 2-1 against it. Shows the Left has had considerable success with their racism ploy.
Believe it or not, the Obama plan is actually sensible — ‘conservative’ even — compared to what Canada’s new Liberal Prime Minister is committed to do: bring in 25,000 ‘Syrian’ ‘refugees’ by the end of this year. That’s right, a country with 1/10th the population of the U.S.A is going to bring in two and a half times as many ‘refugees’ as the U.S.A — and do so within 6 weeks.
Could this be the straw that breaks the camel’s back?
