Want to bet?
Enforce it.
But officials at several American refugee resettlement agencies said Monday that state and local officials cannot physically prevent refugees from being resettled in their areas. They said that all refugees who arrive in the United States must first be approved for legal entry by the federal government after a lengthy screening process and that their housing arrangements are made through long-term contracts and relationships with city, county and state governments.
If the contracts are not in place,,then,,what are the Feds going to do?
When, oh when, is the much needed civil war to start?
Under penalty of what?
I’d like to see stout resistance from the states, regardless of what the IRC has to say about it.
What are the feds going to do. Throw them at us at gun point.
Congress needs to come up immediately with a bill to totally reject Syrian ‘refugees’. Let the DemonRats and OblahMao Hussein veto it. Bring it on...
The hell we can’t.
Although I wish it were different I don’t see how it can be stopped.
Oh Boy.
"...a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States..."
"HA HA, FOOLED YOU!" -- the Fed Gov
That’s what I figured. No one can stop Obama from doing what he wants.
The 10th Amendment be damned!
We are no longer a constitutional republic. We are a banana republic.
If states can’t refuse an influx of refugees to their area why do we bother having states at all?
(Rhetorical question)
.
If Ryan and McConnell had a grain of creativity they would already have an emergency bill on the floor that they could DARE the Dems to filibuster. I can tell you that those on the coasts, including about half of the lefties, after Paris, are more antsy about these folks coming in some ways than those in the heartland.
Why not? If individual cities can refuse to enforce immigration laws and declare themselves “Sanctuary cities”, then why can’t the states ignore the federal government on this issue?
