Obama Administration Threatens States to Admit Syrian Refugees or Face ‘Enforcement Action’
Breitbart ^ | 11/27/2015 | Caroline May

The Obama administration has warned states to comply with federal efforts to resettle Syrian refugees in communities around the U.S. or else find their states subject to enforcement action.

In a letter this week, the Office of Refugee Resettlement threatens states concerned about resettling Syrians with punitive responses if they refuse to accept the refugees. ORR explains that states may not refuse ORR-funded benefits for refugees on the basis of religion and national origin.

“Accordingly, states may not categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees,” ORR Director Robert Carey wrote in the letter. “Any state with such a policy would not be in compliance with the State Plan requirements, applicable statutes, and their own assurances, and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension and termination.”

In September when they were being brought to Germany by trains, groups would gang up on the conductors to stop the train and got off in packs....nobody knows where they went or are. So what makes anyone think for a minute they’re going to “stay” in any place they find themselves here?

They’ll high-tail-it to the first “No-go” Zones they can get to....

They’ll probably just bus the aliens in and forcibly settle them.

“jug-eared jackass

I love that moniker especially knowing how sensitive King Mutt is about his Dumbo-ears. “

How about half-white, gray-headed, OLD jug-eared jackass in mommy jeans?

Call this bastard’s bluff.

...and if he sends Federal Law enforcement or some such to try and forcibly settle them within a declining state’s borders, call out the State Police and detain the Feds and the aliens alike and then simply transport them out of the state.

Send them to a state that is willing to comply.

Alabama could be ripe for an enforcement test: super-majority GOP state and home to lots of Federal spending via Redstone Arsenal...he could smack us with his pen since he’d say it’s all within the DoD budget - and dare Congress to override. Dems wouldn’t care, and the entire region within 100 miles would be economically impacted.

Will be curious to see if the Governor would cave. Legislators would not, people would not, but Gov. Bentley might.

How many soldiers do you think would fire on American citizens for refusing to take in these "refugees?"

Soldiers are trained to follow orders. zer0 already fired commanders that wouldn't order their troops to do as zer0 dictates.

You really don't think zer0 would turn the military against us? Do you really think he cares about the Bill of Rights?

Interesting that our president, who is given authority over us by the Constitution and Federal law is telling us none of those things apply to him.

What kind of a president threatens his own citizens??

That’s all we get from this A-Hole. It started with criticism, now it’s all out threats.

The American People need to DEAL WITH this jerk. He’s not a president, or a leader ...he’s a maniac.

It is time for the states to throw off the tyranny of the dirtball in chief and his perverted and evil minions in the Congress and judicial branches of the corrupted and unjust federal government. Conservatives must unite and defeat the pagan left.

[I am not sure of just what the Federals can and will do to punish us,...]

The obamanation who would be king needs to be deposed and made an example of for future would be dictators and leftist idiots. The states should secede and stop their taxes from going to the evil feds who steal and rob taxpayers.

Because what are we going to do? Round them up?! (YES.) Put them on a bus?!?! (Or plane, train, boat, camel...) And send them where?!?! (Back to the sh*tholes they came from. We can even throw in a pack of Nabs and a Co’Cola as a parting gift.)
