Following Friday's deadly terrorist attacks in Paris linked to ISIS, Gov. Rick Snyder said he's made the decision to suspend efforts to bring Syrian refugees to Michigan.

While acknowledging the state's "rich history of immigration" Snyder said the first priority needs to be protecting the safety of the state’s residents.

"Given the terrible situation in Paris, I've directed that we put on hold our efforts to accept new refugees until the U.S. Department of Homeland Security completes a full review of security clearances and procedures," Snyder said in a statement released to media Sunday.

Hopefully, this doesn't turn into...

Ring....Ring...Ring

Hello, this is the governor

Governor, this is Homeland Security. We asked all the refugees if they were bad guys and they all said no. We'll be sending the buses tomorrow.

Question: why didn't Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana step up and halt the Syrian “refugee” flow into his state recently?

that totally baffles me. Any of these governors, it seems to me, could just say no to any of these “refugees”. Why bother to ask what’s up when any idiot knows you aren’t going to get an answer.

Temporary halt to be stealthily re-enacted later as usual...

Yeah, I want to know the answer to that too. I heard Jindal wrote a letter to Obama asking questions about the refugees coming to his state, but that’s all he did!

Good question. Jindal sounded as if he knew nothing about it when he wrote his pathetic, almost embarrassing, letter to Obama.

I've directed that we put on hold our efforts to accept new refugees until the U.S. Department of Homeland Security completes a full review of security clearances and procedures," Snyder said.

And things will be no more safe after Obama's DHS completes any review it might do. These background checks on refugees are as much a farce as the charade of fully vetting all those good Syrian rebels and establishing a fighting force.

How will they ever vet these refugees? Call the Sheriff of Damascus county and ask for background checks? And these people are overwhelmingly economic migrants and Trojan Horse Moslem invaders. We should help provide for them in Syria and neighboring countries, but not bring them here.

Jindal didn’t know about them coming until they got off the plane. That’s how the Obama regime works.

Of course, vetting people who claim to be from Syria is pretty much impossible now.

Why not just sent all the new 'refugees' to Washington DC? There aren't a lot of people left out here who care if they blow that place up.

The whole vetting talk is a sham.
