Texas Loses Fight to Keep Syrian Refugees Out
Texas Tribune ^ | 6/16/16 | Alexa Ura

Posted on 06/16/2016 6:04:47 PM PDT by Nachum

Texas on Thursday lost its fight against the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the state, ending a monthslong battle during which refugees from the war-torn country continued to arrive. Dealing the final blow to Gov. Greg Abbott’s effort to keep Syrian refugees out of the state, a federal judge dismissed Texas’ lawsuit against the federal government and a refugee resettlement agency over the resettlement of the refugees. In an order dated Wednesday and released Thursday, Dallas-based U.S. District Judge David Godbey said the stat

If you make it unpleasant for them, they might got the hint and leave.

Then maybe it's time for the people of Texas to take up the fight. It might get so uncomfortable for the Syrian scum that they decide they'd like someplace else better.

Like Beirut. Or Detroit. But I repeat myself ...

You and me. If I remember correctly the Feds pay all this for 8 months and then it reverts to the states.

The Feds may force them on individual States but let us see what the Feds do when those individual States refuse to support those so-called refugees. If the Feds want those people cared for, let them send in their own paid for man power and all the needed supplies to do it.

Forcing citizens to provide care and shelter to invaders seems a heck of a lot like going against the spirit of the Third Amendment which is to prevent citizens from being forced to quarter the military in their homes.

I am disgusted beyond belief by what this narcissistic and corrupt administration has done to my country.

That would be SO fitting!

It’s the same here in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ They’ve imported gang problems from Chicago and wonder WHY there are shootings every day of the week!

You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting some ‘converted’ blue-eyed blonde in a Burka with a passel of half-breed kids in tow...

It’s like the LibTards INVITE these problems, then wonder what’s happened!

I just don’t get it.

I would like to think it was not that. Forget an enraged dad (he doesn’t know how to shoot)...his mother, me, or his grandpa would do some serious cap busting.

Ends up being us all the way around. I’m pissed. One of my aunts was attempting to get the oldest remaining sister here, legally of course. That aunt passed away so my mom took over. The Feds kicked back all the paperwork and said start over. Try to do the right thing so she can come live with her family and get kicked in the teeth.

But lets bring in thousands who are barely vetted and foist them on the taxpayers.

Anyone who does anything the right way takes it in the shorts. That’s where we live now.

Agreed. Governor needs to appoint the Texas Rangers to oversee the “hospitality committee”.

It’s in El Paso. CBS did a story on this and the street they talked about was where my relatives drive down every day. My relatives can see the training camp. You’d think that at least congress would do something.. but no one has and no one will.. that’s why Trump! They are on our side of the border, and not just El Paso. They are in other states also.. don’t kid ourselves. The people are not aware of the danger in our country created by obama. He’s a danger to this country and congress has done nothing to stop him.

There may be a malaise settle over the land... can’t stop it and so accept it. I don’t, but I think most do... or ignore it and try to believe it isn’t so.

“Fine. Settle them in the judge’s neighborhood.”

Good idea.

I have been saying to close all the mosques and get the muslims out of here. We will see a day that we regret not doing so. The politically correct says they have a right to practice their religion. First, even Christians can’t practice their religion in the schools where they have given the muslims their room for prayers. Second, theirs is not a religion, it’s a cult “religion” based on a deranged person living in a ho-le, writing from the pit of he-ll.

This current influx/invasion of muslims is not to be compared with immigrants who came here in years past. These muslims don’t want to assimilate.. they want to conquer the world . .. and the US is their prized country to take over. Look at Europe... they have been taken over in some parts.. and I don’t know why the people don’t rise up... I don’t know why Americans don’t rise up either. obama has let them in and living among us... how convenient is that! The FBI and the CIA are not on top of this.. no one is.. we are sitting ducks. Be prayed up for when it hits the fan.. it’s only a matter of time.

This is what my brother described in Aug 2015.

-—A program on “Glen Beck” about what is going on down here. We watched some of it on u-tube and the landmarks listed are all around us. Terrorist are all around us. They mention Donovan Street which we drive down every day. Cielo Dorado Airport with I use to fly in an out of all the time and is located two miles away and the airplanes fly over our house going in and out. Businesses where they hang out we drive buy all the time. We have noticed military aircraft traffic flying around often and I have spotted drones flying up high on two occasions. You can watch this on U-tube and catch Glen Becks program on tonight 10 o’clock your time.

My worst fear: Gary Brays book becomes reality and Texas secedes from the union.

Well said. Sadly, those of us shouting the obvious have been beaten down.

I’m prayed up and arming up.

I’m just floored that we have been invaded like this. I always believed Obama was against us and that he is Muslim. It’s hard for me to see it it unfolding on American soil. I’m sure it’s harder for you to see it in your backyard.
