As President Obama presses communities to accept Syrian refugees, his current hometown of Washington, D.C., is likely to be spared much of the pain.
There are about 180 communities across the U.S. that welcome refugees, but some of the more obvious cities, including San Francisco, New York and, yes, Washington, aren't high on the list because they are just too darn expensive for the refugees.
Instead, the top major cities are places such as Atlanta, San Diego, Houston, Dallas, Chicago and Boston, the State Department says. And there are a host of medium-sized cities as well: Boise, Idaho, Nashville, Tennessee, Tucson, Arizona, Buffalo, New York, and Erie, Pennsylvania, are all on that list, the department said in September as it laid out plans to take 10,000 Syrian refugees this fiscal year.
Handling refugees spans multiple government agencies, with the State Department involved on the front end, Homeland Security overseeing the vetting and the Office of Refugee Resettlement within Health and Human Services responsible for resettling the refugees once they're here.
The ORR is the same office that is handling the ongoing surge of illegal immigrant children on the border over the last few years, and it relies on a network of nine non-profits -- six of them faith-based -- to place the refugees in communities that can handle them.

I notice Houston is on the list. Mayor Porker will probably tie Abbott to his chair and push him down a flight of stairs in order to bring the little darlings to her sanctuary city.

Do they know the way to San Jose?
We got oodles of folks who know how to use knives here..
I agree, I’d bet the farm they’re not doing it for nothing.
Of course not! The elites make the rules the rest of us are supposed to follow. They always give themselves a pass!
And a bounty placed on his head ...
Thanks...When I first read about a lot of refugees going to Boise I wondered why there wasn’t an uproar from the citizens, I didn’t think they’d be welcome.
Yeah, and I should have also said I read that figure in an article posted here, but don’t ask me which one, it was a couple-three days ago...
Obsma’s Destroy-America program is on schedule and progressing well. And the Sheeple allow it. Ps: Who was it that advised to “pray and pass the ammunition?”
Governors have no legal standing to stop this ... it is a foreign policy issue handled by the President ... vetting is what ever he say it is ... number of ‘refugees’ is unlimited ... all by a Federal law passed some years back. Can only be stopped by changing the law, and forcing Obama to sign it ... less is a travesty.
My son and his family live in Boise. I hate to see this happening. At least Idaho is a red state. There’s hope for you. Next door in Washington, our so-called governor is a freaking, dim-witted moron. He’s welcoming “refugees” with open arms and wallets - his arms and our wallets.
I need to sell out and move to Idaho.
Have you ever seen someone so deserving of a category 5 ass-kicking?
It’s not like DC really needs a muslim population, since they’re already well represented there by both parties. Besides, when ISIS decides to enact their threats against DC, those “refugees” assigned the task will find their way there easily enough. Even 8th Century goat lovers can use GPS.
Pansy Flutterbutt?!! Is that YOU?

The Feds of course per the 1980 Refugee Act and subsequent court decisions supporting Federal superiority over states rights. All a state or local government entity can do is be uncooperative. Let us hope there is a big lack of cooperation across the nation.
