25 States Say “No” to Syrian Refugees

Posted on November 17, 2015 by creeping

That’s only half, still all states and all Americans vulnerable. Muslim terrorist boasts of freely crossing Europe’s borders and moc....

This is THE primary role of the federal government – PROTECTING AMERICAN CITIZENS!! Obama has pledged not to stop the Syrian invasion but to accelerate and increase the invasion. Dems & Republicans are doubling funding for it. And what about Somalis? Iraqis? Afghanis? Libyans? Yemenis? Saudis? Egyptians? Jordanians? What about Muslims who are not refugees but find other ways into the U.S.? Who is demanding an end to refugee resettlement programs and investigating the organizations involved in human trafficking? It’s a start, under tragic circumstances, but these issues will determine the future of America.

Source: 25 States Say “No” to Syrian Refugees and ISIS

by Daniel Greenfield

While Obama is doubling down on his plan to bring tens of thousands of Syrians to America, many of them with military training and a fanatical hatred of America, more states are taking a stand against these fake refugees and ISIS.

Wisconsin, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Maine, Texas, Arizona, Michigan, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Idaho, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma, New Mexico, New Jersey, Ohio, South Carolina and Kansas have all come out against dumping Syrian migrants into their states. (It is important to note that these Syrian “refugees” are coming out of countries like Jordan or Turkey where there is no war. That makes them economic migrants, not refugees. They cease to be refugees once they move beyond Jordan or Turkey to a wealthier country for economic reasons.)

The strength of their positions varies from state to state. Some are merely calling for extended reviews like Democrat Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire. Others are serious.

Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona offered one of the more comprehensively technical responses…

 “Given the horrifying events in Paris last week, I am calling for an immediate halt in the placement of any new refugees in Arizona. As governor, I am invoking our state’s right under 8 USC, Section 1522 (a), to receive immediate consultation by federal authorities per the United States Refugee Act, and that the federal government take into account the concerns and recommendations of the state of Arizona as they are required to under federal law, in our efforts to keep our homeland safe. I also call on Congress and the President to immediately amend federal law to provide states greater oversight and authority in the administration of the placement of refugees. These acts serve as a reminder that the world remains at war with radical Islamic terrorists. Our national leaders must react with the urgency and leadership that every American expects to protect our citizens.”

In Louisiana, Bobby Jindal has issued an executive order that is one of the most extensive on the list.

NOW THEREFORE, I, BOBBY JINDAL, Governor of the State of Louisiana, by virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution and laws of the State of Louisiana, do hereby order and direct as follows:

SECTION 1: All departments, budget units, agencies, offices, entities, and officers of the executive branch of the State of Louisiana are authorized and directed to utilize all lawful means to prevent the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the State of Louisiana while this Order is in effect.

SECTION 2: The Louisiana State Police, upon receiving information of a Syrian refugee already relocated within the State of Louisiana, are authorized and directed to utilize all lawful means to monitor and avert threats within the State of Louisiana.

SECTION 3: All departments, budget units, agencies, offices, entities, and officers of the executive branch of the State of Louisiana are authorized and directed to cooperate in the implementation of the provisions of this Order.

North Carolina governor Pat McCrory has said that he wants the government to “cease sending Syrian refugees” to his state. In Indiana, Mike Pence is suspending resettlement pending Federal assurances. Nikki Haley in South Carolina gave a somewhat shaky statement on the subject, but appears to have somewhat come out against.

Governor LePage in Maine said, “To bring Syrian refugees into our country without knowing who they are is to invite an attack on American soil just like the one we saw in Paris last week and in New York City on 9/11. That is why I adamantly oppose any attempt by the federal government to place Syrian refugees in Maine, and will take every lawful measure in my power to prevent it from happening.”

In a radio address, the governor who has tried to make the state’s welfare policies less attractive to Somali welfare migrants, said…

“One of the first actions I took as Governor was to ensure Maine is no longer a sanctuary state that harbors illegal aliens. It’s important to follow federal law, and we work with law enforcement and other agencies to assist the federal government on immigration matters.”

“As a free state and country, we are always vulnerable to attack. The safety of our citizens comes first. We need responsible immigration policies to protect not only Americans, but all people.”

In Georgia, Nathan Deal has issued an executive order cracking down on any state agencies participating in resettlement efforts. Kansas governor Sam Brownback also stated that no state agencies will work in resettlement for Syrians. Chris Christie also switched gears and took a firm line against Syrian migration, despite once supporting it. Governor Mary Fallin in Oklahoma called for a suspension.

“My first priority as Governor is the safety of all Kansans. We must take immediate action to ensure terrorists do not enter the nation or our state under the guise of refugee resettlement. The recent attacks in Paris coupled with terrorist organizations indicating a desire to attack the United States are stark reminders of the dangers every nation faces.

“It is imperative that we take action where the White House has not.

“I have therefore directed all state agencies, departments, boards or commissions not to participate or assist in the relocation of Syrian refugees to Kansas. It is unfortunate that we must take this step to protect the safety of Kansans, but the federal government cannot guarantee that Syrian refugees coming to America would not be part of a terrorist organization seeking to harm our citizens.”

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker also took a firm line.

“In light of these horrific and tragic attacks, our first priority must be to protect our citizens.  Along with governors across the country, I have deep concerns about the Obama Administration’s plan to accept 10,000 or more Syrian refugees, especially given that one of the Paris attackers was reportedly a Syrian refugee.  In consultation with our Adjutant General, who also serves as my Homeland Security Advisor, it is clear that the influx of Syrian refugees poses a threat.

With this in mind, I am calling upon the President to immediately suspend the program pending a full review of its security and acceptance procedures.  The State of Wisconsin will not accept new Syrian refugees.”

Texas governor Greg Abbott wrote to Obama stating, “As governor of Texas, I write to inform you that the State of Texas will not accept any refugees from Syria in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in Paris.

“Further, I and millions of Americans implore you to halt your plans to accept more Syrian refugees in the United States. A Syrian “refugee” appears to have been part of the Paris terror attack. American humanitarian compassion could be exploited to expose Americans to similar deadly danger.”

He pointed out that his state had come under attack by ISIS Jihadists. “The threat posed to Texas by ISIS is very real. ISIS claimed credit last May when two terrorist gunmen launched an attack in Garland, Texas.”

“Texas cannot participate in any program that will result in Syrian refugees any one of whom could be connected to terrorism being resettled in Texas. Effective today, I am directing the Texas Health & Human Services Commission’s Refugee Resettlement Program to not participate in the resettlement of any Syrian refugees in the State of Texas.”

Florida governor Rick Scott wrote to Ryan and McConnell asking them to protect Florida and the rest of the country by cutting off funding for Syrian resettlement.

Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama said, “I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.”

“The acts of terror committed over the weekend are a tragic reminder to the world that evil exists and takes the form of terrorists who seek to destroy the basic freedoms we will always fight to preserve. I will not place Alabamians at even the slightest, possible risk of an attack on our people. Please continue to join me in praying for those who have suffered loss and for those who will never allow freedom to fade at the hands of terrorists.”

But there is good news for ISIS.

Governor Moonbeam in California is keeping the state open for refugee resettlement business. As does Malloy in Connecticut, Inslee in Washington, Dayton in Minnesotta and Raimondo in Rhode Island. Failed Vermont governor Peter Shumlin is extremely enthusiastic about Syrian migrants. As if they could save his health care failures.

Lot of fine words posted here.

Yeah we all know about B.O. and that the government AS A WHOLE has turned its back on sanity.

Like the sovereignty declarations these kinds of things are far more political that practical, once any state allows them in we all got them. I have more faith in the actions of Anonymous than all the governments in the world, at least they do what what they say. Think about it.

So what will I do? I wont fear I will be as ready as one may and this is my creed;

This is a special message for NumbersUSA members whose governor is opposing the admission of more Syrian refugees.

Dear NumbersUSA activist,

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, over half the nation's governors either want to block the resettlement of Syrian refugees in their state, or oppose resettlement in general now, over terrorism fears. Authorities have said that at least one terrorist involved in the Paris attacks carried a fake Syrian passport and landed in Greece as part of a wave of refugees from Syria. Just last month FBI Director James Comey told a House panel that his agency has no way to fully vet any refugees that come from Syria.

As of this writing, the 27 governors saying no represent Ala., Ariz., Ark., Fla., Ga., Idaho, Ill., Ind., Iowa, Kan., La., Maine, Mass., Mich., Miss., Neb., Nev., N.H., N.J., N.M., N.C., Ohio, Okla., S.C., Tenn., Tex., and Wisc. Also incoming Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, who will be sworn in on Dec. 8, said his primary responsibility would be to protect Kentuckians.

On the other hand, the governors of Calif, Colo., Conn., Del., Penn., Vt. and Wash. have explicitly said they will accept Syrian refugees without further assurances concerning background checks. Other governors have not yet commented.

Please use the online comment form provided below to thank your governor for opposing President Obama's Syrian refugee resettlement plans.

Okay that is fine and good but tell my why do I have to thank my Governor for doing what he is supposed to do isn't that his job to protect the constituents/voters/people in his State????

The new Baghdad Bob!

It's just a setback.

His name is in the anagram above his head. Always there if you look.

[Rhodes]

Hacks you off too I see.  GOOD FOR YOU!

Why do we have to constantly remind these guys of the freaking obvious at every turn.

Did you elect morons?

Apparently so.

Perhaps there were only morons from which to choose and you voted for the lesser moron?

Perhaps it didn't matter... people would still be reminding the winning morons of the obvious.

It is possible to both love and regret the truth.

For me  I have been sending him thanks, a lot. And of course, re-election money.   Gov. Scott Walker, has been a big target of those who believe they have the right to stop our freedom of speech, freedom of the 2ND Amendment - who believe in the PC correct crap - except when they do it. So Thank you Scott Walker. (And I sometimes get a response and even, once a phone call. Of course, most are his staff, but still.)
