Texas has gone to federal court in its efforts to keep Syrian refugees out of the state, filing suit against the federal government and a refugee resettlement nonprofit.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday afternoon in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton claims the federal government and the International Rescue Committee â one of about 20 private nonprofits that have a state contract to resettle refugees in Texas â are violating federal law by moving forward with the planned resettlement of two Syrian families. One such family is expected to arrive in Texas as soon as Friday.
The lawsuit argues that the federal government and resettlement group have not fulfilled their contractual obligations to consult with, and provide information to, state officials.
It argues that federal officials violated the Refugee Act of 1980, which requires that the federal government âshall consult regularlyâ with the state regarding the placement of refugees. Texas also alleges that the International Rescue Committee violated a separate provision of the act requiring the nonprofit work âin close cooperation and advance consultationâ with the state.
The suit, filed in the Dallas-based federal court, asks for a temporary injunction barring any Syrian refugees until terms of the contract are met. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey, a George W. Bush appointee.

A lawsuit takes time to work its way through the court system, appeals process etc. etc.
Time for the next election cycle to happen and for Republican politicians to look good on an issue.
The Republican governors putting on a political show while potential terrorists may get to enter the country??????
Bit that would go a long way towards insuring any damage they wreak on Americans could be compensated.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is warning Americans that under House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the planned government funding bill, allows Obama to bring in 10,000 Syrian refugees and place them in American communities. Session said in a statement:
"As currently written, this years appropriations bills will be combined into a catch-allomnibus by December 11th which amounts to a blank check to carry out Obama's refugee resettlement plans. Not only will the President be allowed to bring in the 85,000 refugees he has announced on top of current record immigration levels, but this will include at least 10,000 refugees from Syria......who will subsequently be able to bring in their foreign relatives.
All refugees are eligible for lifetime government benefits and Social Security and Medicare access, and are on a fast-track to becoming voting U.S. citizens. More than 90 percent of recent Middle Eastern refugees are on welfare.
Technically, the bill hasnt yet been releases.....but will likely be released until mere hours before the vote (to bamboozle Americans) but its pretty clear from the public statements of the GOP leadership, that the plan in Congress is to pave the way for Obama.
==================================================
REFERENCE Obama is funneling our tax dollars directly into non-profits (and religious organizations like Catholic Charities) for the purpose of resettling these refugees..... reportedly over $20M (that we know of).
News outlets report that the vengeful Obama is on the warpath and nd is threatening legal action on the 31 states...using federal laws to undermine the states' sovereignty.
NOW PONDER THIS There is the distinct possibility that Mideast countries are bribing Obama....paying Obama to take these actions.
Gov Abbott, and the 31 states refusing Syrian refugees, should subpoena the wire-transfers in and out of Valerie Jarrrett's and Susan Rice's WH offices......to determine the scope and dimension of foreign monies being directed to Obama and to his two Clintonesque buck-raking foundations.
Refugee relocation monies may also be phonied-up....characterized as "donations" to Obama's billion dollar "library fund"---scheduled to be built in Chicago.
========================================
ACTION NOW: Americans demand subpoenas of the wire-transfer records of Valerie Jarrett, Suzan Rice, the two Obama foundations and the Obama library fund.....and other networks Obama might be using to bamboozle Americans.
