States that do not comply with the requirement would be breaking the law and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension or termination of the federally funded program, according to the letter, signed by the director of the federal resettlement office, Robert Carey, and quoted by AP.>>>>
big deal pull funding for a program that the states don’t want to do. wow wish i could do that kind of threat at work.
States can require their local businesses to register their federal taxes in trust to the state. They can then start a lengthy legal process that requires months of lawyering in Federal Court.
Meanwhile all withholding taxes are outside the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. Pay your bills now Obama!

No state should allow an out of control President and Federal Government to be making demands of the Sovereign that originally gave it the power to exist, and no state in it’s right mind should allow it’s citizens to be sending money direct to Washington bypassing the State who remains Supreme over the Fed. in everything not specifically enumerated in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. Read that once more, Constitution of the United States!
No federal funding? Have my employer to stop fed taxes for me. I will do it on my own.
The problem is that if a state refuses to accept Federal money for refugee resettlement, the Feds can just give that money to an NGO for the same purpose. And the Feds give the refugee legal status in the US.
Wow, using the power of the purse. What a novel idea.
