Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, and three governors push back against the rising tide of anti-refugee sentiment.
Since the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, more than half of America's governors have issued statements saying they would bar Syrian refugees from entering their states—despite having no legal authority to do so and disregarding the nation's strict vetting process for refugees. The statements come amid a rising tide of fear and anti-refugee sentiment among the American public: More than half of Americans polled by Bloomberg said the United States should not continue with plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees, while a survey from NBC News published late Wednesday contained similar results. But at least a few American political leaders are pushing back.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton
On Monday, Dayton called statements from his fellow governors who want to bar Syrian refugees "ludicrous":
"I think it's showmanship on the part of the governors...I want to protect the people of Minnesota every bit as much those governors want to protect the people of their states. To stand up there with swagger, and say 'I'm going to prevent the wrong people from entering my state' to me is just ludicrous."
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown
Brown took to Twitter on Tuesday to say that Oregon will "open the doors to opportunity" for displaced people....

A key teaching of Islam is the duty to wage Holy War.
Why? All these commentators live in metropolitan enclaves where no one who has to suffer the consequences of their policies can get at them.
The only thing leftists fear are white people. Even the white ones.
The "Japanese interred" were American citizens, BORN here, raised here, and assimilating into American culture.
We sure as $hit didn't IMPORT Japanese Nationals after Pearl Harbor, and we sure as $hit didn't import Nazis during WWII either.
I swear the democrats are not only suicidal, but they also want to take everyone ELSE with them.
I just want to ask one question: just HOW does taking in Syrian refugees in any way BENEFIT the US?
I mean beyond making liberals "feel good" about themselves and obtaining more democrat votes.

Looks like not everyone at Mother Jones got the Mother Jones memo:

Put as many Democrats on record on amnesty and Muslim immigration as you can. Some time between now and the next election the world is going to change big time and then they will pay for it.
Those aren’t “leaders”. They’re commie ‘RATS looking for a new voter block.
The SPLC used it successfully against Tom Metzger and how his white supremacy rantings influenced some skin-heads (not members of the white supremacy group) who killed an innocent black man.
The Islamist jihadists among the thousands of very likely mostly innocent Muslims are being waved in, "vetted" or not and virtually encouraged to kill Americans.
Can't be what they are doing. Their heads are still visible...
They are up to something. There’s no reason to be pushing this. It’s no where near a good idea.
These people should agree that, if any of these refugees kills anyone....they should kill themselves. Put up or shut up.
MotherJones...makes Pravda seem conservative.
“I mean beyond making liberals “feel good” about themselves and obtaining more democrat votes.”
That’s it, my friend, that’s it. Liberals/Democrats have not grasp on reality, are deluded, and mentally deficient on all fronts. Kinda scary, especially living in USSRWa.
Bryan schatz his pants on the national stage, again.
Traitors willing to enslave women. Thanks for naming them.
Alaska’s gov. Walker says we want refugees. Believe me it is not an opinion of anyone I know.
