Governor David Ige’s Statement on Syrian refugees http://governor.hawaii.gov/newsroom/governor-david-iges-statement-on-syrian-refugees/

Our first priority is the safety of the American people, including the people of the State of Hawai‘i.

The U.S. accepts refugees, including Syrians, only after they are subjected to the most vigorous and highest level of screening and security vetting.

As President Obama has said – slamming the door in their face would be a betrayal of our values. Hawai‘i and our nation have a long history of welcoming refugees impacted by war and oppression. Hawai‘i is the Aloha State, known for its tradition of welcoming all people with tolerance and mutual respect. I am confident that our state will work closely with the federal government to ensure that appropriate resources and support are available before any refugees arrive in Hawai‘i.

— Hawai‘i Governor David Ige

This man is a fool

Governor: Hawaii would welcome Syrian refugees

I like that plan. The least we can do for the state that gave us Dumbama is to give them several hundred thousand murderous Islamic nut jobs.

OK, then send all the Syrian refugees to Hawaii...every last one...at least they’ll be contained to a cluster of islands...it would be tough for them to go elsewhere in the USA...so, thanks, Hawaii, for taking one for the team!

Hawaii’s been complaining about their homeless for years, so it looks like they have that problem solved since they want more.

Brillant. An island is a perfect place to be trapped with questionable people.

Obama will not send the Syrian refugees (hidden Terrorist) to his own State! Look at the map and see how many were sent to DC, that’s right none!

www.house.gov

www.senate.gov

DC offices are open until 6 pm EST.

Call your reps and tell them not one Syrian refugee is to be admitted to the USA.

You do not want another 9/11.

You do not want another Paris ...this time on our soil.

For the morons in DC who say we need to take our fair share of refugees, our fair share was 7,000 dead men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 50,000 wounded warriors.

That was our fair share.

The Arabs with all their oil money can take care of their brothers.

Not our problem.

Make the call. It is time the jerks in DC are reminded who the bosses of this country really are.

Mutual respect?

I think I've discovered the flaw in your thinking.

Why not. This damn State is all screwed up anyway. After these Syrian refugees turns out to be a few ISIS, hope they don’t shoot and bomb them up.

I’ve never gone for a vacation to that land. I will probably never undertake such travelling now.

From the article: “The governor says “Hawaii is the Aloha State, known for its tradition of welcoming all people . . .”

Eh governor, Aloha also means goodbye.

How telling, Hawaii whose indigenous peoples detest the Haole, are happy as pigs in shit to take in a bunch of Syrian muslins. First let them sink under the weight of their chosen and then agree to their secession.
