Governors, lack authority to stop Syrian refugees

The law governing acceptance of refugees, the Refugee Act of 1980, puts authority for admission of refugees in the hands of the president:

Signed by President Jimmy Carter.

Ohmygosh. If Missouri isn’t going to stop it, and Muslims already in the St. Louis area encourage it, all of those Syrian “refugees” most states don’t want could easily end up in Missouri. Don’t the more stuff and less laws for black people lemmings have a clue that they’re being marginalized and replaced?

“Our President of the United States, to declare full-on Martial Law.”
