The Paris terror attacks may have put a clamp on President Obama's plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year, as the number of governors saying they won't take them swells.
At the same time, top congressional lawmakers are urging the administration to halt the plan. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul called on Obama to "temporarily suspend the admission of all additional Syrian refugees" pending a "full review," according to a letter obtained by Fox News.
The resistance at the state level is coalescing at a rapid clip. So far, governors in at least 17 states have moved to suspend or restrict the refugee resettlement, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin.
"Given the tragic attacks in Paris and the threats we have already seen, Texas cannot participate in any program that will result in Syrian refugees -- any one of whom could be connected to terrorism -- being resettled in Texas," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a letter to Obama.
Some of these states previously did not object to the refugee plan. But Friday night's terror attack in Paris, which left at least 129 people dead, fueled fears that Islamic State militants are moving into Europe as part of the wave of refugees escaping the civil war, and could eye America next. Authorities say a Syrian passport found near one jihadist's body had been registered last month and moved through three countries along a busy migrant corridor known for lax controls.

Nice thought. I agree. Which of the 5 conservatives in DC do you believe will make the lesser evils people elected go along?
Except that A-hole democrat governor of Pennsylvania who said he welcomes the imported terrorists.
It's 58 states. Obama still had one to visit when he said he'd already been to 57, remember?
There is no Federal Law as yet.
You also need to read the 10th amendment.
Bttt!
“He will lose this one “
Don’t bet on it - he’s evil and when it comes to doing something he really wants to do he won’t be denied. He’ll bring them in in some state that wants them, give them legal residency permits and plane tickets to wherever he wants to send them and off they go. How will a governor stop them?
“as the number of governors saying they won’t take them swells.”
I wouldn’t take them swells, either.
All you have to do is to read the readers' comments for articles in the NY Daily News to figure out how he got elected and then re-upped. The reader comments in the NYDN reflect the mentality, in general, of the lowest of the low-information voters. Thus Cuomo willingly brings this Trojan menace right into his state with both hands.
The libtards can always be easily distracted by some pol shouting, "Global warming!" or "No one should have to be poor! Let's give the poor all YOUR money!" so they will not even look up to notice the Muzzie menace looking them over like vultures.
But what about the rest of us who are being pulled along in this madness against our will? We have the libtard imbecile DiDumbDumb as mayor; twin libtards Gillibrand and Schumer as senators; an immigration-rights attorney for a Congresscritter and then Cuomo as the libtard-in-chief for New York: several layers of libtard insulating us from any hope of rational thought by leaders.
***succession? nothing legal will work, we need a complete reset.***
Yep.
If I’m not mistaken there were 2 states that were never taking refugees and that was Wyoming and Montana.
Obama called the Paris massacre “a setback”. If your and my family gets killed by Islamists, it will be “a setback”.
Now, Islamic leaders said today they will attack Washington, D.C. If they kill Obama, remember it will just be “a setback” to Obama. Sure, he would call his own death “a setback” - not likely.
Well, you and I will keep our own families safe and not allow them to be called “a setback”. As for as Obama’s life in D.C., well, it would just be “a setback” I could easily deal with.
I believe all the governors who have issued orders for no Syrian refugees, are Republican governors. The Democrat governors have not.
