Bobby Jindal demands more information on Syrian refugees placed in Louisiana
Washington Times ^ | 11/14/15 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 11/15/2015 3:39:44 AM PST by markomalley

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal demanded Saturday that the Obama administration keep him informed on the Syrian refugees that are being placed in his home state, saying he is erring on the side of caution following the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Mr. Jindal, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, sent a letter to President Obama urging him to “pause” the entire relocation effort until more is known about the attacks that left more than 120 people dead. He also questioned the level of screening the refugees are undergoing and whether they will be monitored moving forward — pointing out that one of the attackers reportedly was a Syrian refugee.

“As Americans, we embolden freedom and opportunity to the rest of the world, but by opening up our borders and refusing to collaborate or share information with states, you are threatening that reality,” Mr. Jindal wrote.

This is why I opposed faith based initiatives.

Accept the king’s bribe and you accept the king’s strings.

In Michigan “Christian” adoption agencies are fighting against being forced to allow gay parents to adopt but they won’t do the right thing and reject the money they get from uncle sugar.

I am very unimpressed with Jindal’s response. He should be leading protests, issuing executive orders, seeking an injunction in federal court, making some real noise.... Just issuing a letter is weak.

And where is our congressional leadership? Where is Paul Ryan in all of this?

This is ridiculous and flat out corrupt at its core. Anytime there is an event where a certain number of people are expected to even temporarily increase the population of a city or municipality, like a concert, huge sporting event, rally or concert, etc., security or LE is increased, right? How in reality do these bozo mayors expect to provide security in any fashion to their citizens? I don’t think they do. I think all they’re reaching for is the Federal Wallet so they can get their share, but for what exactly, I don’t know. The citizens of this country are already overburdened by illegals that continue to flood and clog everything up, now the Feds are bringing these people here? Who the heck approved that? Do not the citizens have any say on this? How can mayors ask for refugees and go around the Governor? I swear, this is wrong and dangerous.

The closest big city to me is Pittsburgh. Its mayor asked for some number of these “refugees.” I watched the big announcement on TV and thought, shouldn't this be something to put before the people? Let them decide whether or not these freeloading possible terrorists should come here, take away jobs, use up resources and/or possibly kill us? After all, the taxpayers are going to foot the bill. But it appears that every mayor who is taking in these “refugees” did so without consulting their constituents, nor did they explain why they are doing so or how these new freeloaders will be paid for. That's what leads me to believe there was some financial inducement from the feds to the mayors. You can bet whatever money was promised won't go toward assistance for these new terrorists. It will probably end up in the mayors’ pockets.

Unfortunately, I don't live in Pittsburgh, so I would have no say in the matter. On top of that, this region is infested with Democrat sheep, so the residents won't make a fuss. The state also has a Democrat governor and a RINO-controlled legislature; so no help there. Would be nice if Congress would commenced investigations and hearings into the matter, but with this lapdog congress, I won't hold my breath.

“We’ve got this lunatic mayor in Dayton Ohio,”

They have a lunatic governor too who probably agrees because “it is the right thing to do”.

Right on, I have not noticed any of these savages being sent to anywhere near inside the beltway. Pitch tents on the White Hut south lawn and have them dine with o turd everyday so he can listen to their plight.

I believe VA is one of the states with the highest number of muslims, probably all around DC.

They aren’t the shock troops. They’re the inside infiltrators and psychological warfare wing of islam. They’re there to whisper in the ears of politicians and infiltrate the highest levels of government.

Well then the savages will have a kindred group to reside with. All the more reason to send them there!

What are the mechanics of bringing these refugees in?
What dept. is handling it? Coming by Ship? Plane? If N. O. got 10,000 at once they must have been brought in by ships.

Reason I ask is whether at some point in the journey could a player refuse to do their part of the transfer.

Once they are here and turned loose they will be in the wind . Even if Trump wins next year and keeps his promise to send them home, he has to find them.

When will the governors of the various states realize that they are governors? According to Merriam-Webster a governor is a person who is the leader of the government of a state. Most likely the governors know what their authorities and responsibilities are but merely subjugate themselves to the federal government.

Sounds like Jindal needs to join forces with other Governors, to do more than just send tersely worded letters to 0, about this....

Jindal was never notified that they were coming?

[That is doubtful.]

Stand up and be counted, Bobby.

Wallace stood up to the FED in Alabama. Faubus stood up to the FED in Arkansas. They both lost, but they, not their surrogates, took a stand. And they were both Democrats.

If you meant it, Bobby, you would be blocking the unloading of the Syrians, instead of writing an open letter to the prez.

If Bobby came out with “Lock em up, Dano”, he jump up in the polls.

Send them out into Cajunland, that’s the ticket. Won’t take long for Redneck Coonasses to handle the situation. Hey, Akmed, wanna go aligata huntin?

Nobama is telling us that globull warming is one the big cause of Syrian refugees because its too hot there now. Just wait until they experience South Louisiana 100% humidity at 100+ degrees from April til October.

Obama is going to turn the whole country into Detroit.

You got it, that’s the plan from day one and he isn’t finished. With the help of those girly men in congress he will succeed.
