Multiple governors across the United States are refusing to allow Syrian refugees to resettle in their states amid safety concerns following the deadly terror attacks in Paris.
By Monday afternoon, at least 14 governors said that they would not permit new Syrian refugees to enter their states as part of President Obamaâs refugee resettlement plan, citing concerns that terrorists could use the program to gain access to the United States, according to the Washington Post.
âGiven the tragic attacks in Paris and the threats we have already seen, Texas cannot participate in any program that will result in Syrian refugeesâany one of whom could be connected to terrorismâ being resettled in Texas,â Gov. Greg Abbott wrote in a letter to Obama Monday.
âEffective today, I am directing the Texas Health & Human Services Commissionâs Refugee Resettlement Program to not participate in the resettlement of any Syrian refugees in the state of Texas. And I urge you, as president, to halt your plans to allow Syrians to be resettled anywhere in the United States.â

~~ Obama's Epitaph ~~
Nov 13, 2015, On Friday morning, just hours before Paris turned into ground zero, Obama declared on ABC's "Good Morning America" that ISIS (ISIL, whatever) was not gaining ground and that the US military "has contained" it.
The GOP are trying to shut off funding for Obama Syrians
Muslim countries aren’t accepting the Syrians. Why should we??
As soon as they hit shore, won’t they disperse everywhere to the terrorist camps located in every state?
It’s being said it’s not up to
them,it’s the fed. govt.
Josh Ernest last week hinted that Obama was about to shut down Gitmo by Executive Order as soon as by the end of this week.
Obama definitely doubles down and will force these refugees and then some on the states that refuse them.
He needs to be arrested...
He’s already growling about this being a Federal operation, and states have no say... “do it or else.”
War.
Yea, I know. We have such a wonderful president - NOT. Whatever is in America’s best interest you can be sure he will do the opposite. Count on this last year being one to remember as he doubles down on destroying us. Where is Congress with impeachment? Why was he elected twice? How did Americans grow up to lack such discernment? We as a nation are in a really bad place at a very bad time - and yet, Obama’s approval rating never dips below 40%. That, unfortunately, tells you a lot about why we are where we are. Alas, there’s still hope - ISIS says they coming to D.C. next!!! (Ok, that last part, you know, it’s sarcasm. But with our current crop of “leaders” one might start “feeling” like it might actually help.)
