Mississippi Governor: ‘No Syrian Refugees For Us Until D.C. Takes Sone’
Varney & Co.'s Twitter Feed ^ | 12-8-2016 | Amy Moreno

Posted on 12/09/2016 9:19:09 AM PST by rhett october

From the video:

"I’m currently working with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and Mississippi Office of Homeland Security to determine the current status of any Syrian refugees that may be brought to our state in the near future. I will do everything humanly possible to stop any plans from the Obama administration to put Syrian refugees in Mississippi. The policy of bringing these individuals into the country is not only misguided, it is extremely dangerous. I’ll be notifying President Obama of my decision today to resist this potential action."

“[We have taken] none so far, so certainly we can claim that as a win,” he said. “In November of 2015, I sent a letter to the President saying much of the same that other governors had said – that we will simply just refuse to accept Syrian refugees because we don’t think that they can be properly vetted.”

“We don’t know the specific background or identities of these individuals. We think they would be a threat to Mississippians.”

Makes sense. Why put your family and local community at risk? Unless...you know...you're selling out to globalism.

State officials will become increasingly aggressive against this administration the closer we get to January 20th. No time left for Team 0dungsh*t to retaliate!

Not sure why Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Bahrain and the rest of the oil soaked kingdoms have not stepped up to help out their poor poor Syrian bros.

[Well i do know but still...we should insist...no more here.]

Obama’s friends should all be sent to DC. It’s a basket case anyway and that way we can keep our enemies in one place.

Great logic and thinking. Make all of the Senators and Congress people surround their PERSONAL RESIDENCES with these refugees.

I’m glad some political leaders have woken up to what the curren Muslim CIC is up to - seeding terrorism on our soil for a huge white massacre harvest later. Screw PC; this is about security, sovereignty, and safety. No more leftist whining and guilt tripping so they can continue to roll in more Trojan horses. Grown ups are taking the reigns back.

Unfortuntely he does hedge a bit when he adds , if Washington DC takes some Syrian refugees he will reconsider taking some. -Tom

Terrorists have cars and can drive wherever they want to. Unfortunately.

With courage and teamwork, we may yet be able to beat Obama off.

I can’t help but think this sentiment is not new.

Some people up to now, have been bullied into being quiet or else they’re finally bold enough (with Trump’s win) to say what they always thought.

Good first step. I’d say the US shouldn’t take even one until every Muslim country has each taken 100000.

Stupid position.

There is no reason to resettle Syrian “refugees” in this country at all, not in Mississippi, not in DC, not anywhere.

Ew. No thanks, you can beat him off all by yourself.
