Obama plan for Syrian refugees scrambled by state opposition (15 states now refuse)
Fox News ^ | November 16, 2015

Posted on 11/16/2015 12:43:14 PM PST by jazusamo

The Paris terror attacks may have put a clamp on President Obama's plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year, as the number of governors saying they won't take them swells.

At the same time, top congressional lawmakers are urging the administration to halt the plan. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul called on Obama to "temporarily suspend the admission of all additional Syrian refugees" pending a "full review," according to a letter obtained by Fox News.

The resistance at the state level is coalescing at a rapid clip. So far, governors in at least 15 states have moved to suspend or restrict the refugee resettlement, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin.

"Given the tragic attacks in Paris and the threats we have already seen, Texas cannot participate in any program that will result in Syrian refugees -- any one of whom could be connected to terrorism -- being resettled in Texas," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a letter to Obama.

Some of these states previously did not object to the refugee plan. But Friday night's terror attack in Paris, which left at least 129 people dead, fueled fears that Islamic State militants are moving into Europe as part of the wave of refugees escaping the civil war, and could eye America next. Authorities say a Syrian passport found near one jihadist's body had been registered last month and moved through three countries along a busy migrant corridor known for lax controls.

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.

This could get interesting. What if Hussein pushes back? If I were a governor, I would be in consultation with my State Adjutant General regarding readiness of STATE forces to secure borders/ports of entry.

I've posted this several times..

consanguinity (inbreeding) among zealous Sharia Law Muslims.. see map below. Shouldn't this be an issue vis-a-vis their acceptance?

"Consanguinity is a deeply rooted social trend among one-fifth of the world population mostly residing in the Middle East, West Asia and North Africa, as well as among emigrants from these communities now residing in North America, Europe and Australia . . . ." source: National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine

Coming to your neighborhood soon! From Barry Jivethon Lying Circus..

"If there are two things that characterize Islamic culture, they are terrorism and inbreeding."

Source consang.net (see map below also). Also

google: "Nicolai Sennels" "The connection between Muslim inbreeding and terrorism"

Global prevalence of consanguinity

Coincidence? I don't think so.

From an Internet source:

"If there are two things that characterize Islamic culture, they are terrorism and inbreeding. The latest research shows that these two things might be closely connected . . . First cousin marriages have been the tradition in many Muslim families for innumerable generations. Such marriages increase the risk of negative mental and physical consequences . . . Risk of mental retardation increases with 400 percent (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, 1978 “Effect of inbreeding on IQ and mental retardation”). Research shows that the IQ is 10-16 points lower in children born from blood related parents and that abilities related to social behavior and empathy develops slower in inbred babies (Indian National Science Academy, 1983 “Consanguinity Effects on Intelligence Quotient and Neonatal Behaviours of nsari Muslim Children” [pdf]). Such facts might make several pieces fall into place for many people . . . People with low intelligence (because of inbreeding) might also be easier to brainwash with fundamentalist Islam. "

My emphasis.

.. more from same source

Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels:

. . . close to ninety percent [of the suicide bombers were] suffering from severe illness such as blindness, cancer, missing limbs or leprosy. Many Muslim societies . . . have a low social acceptance of handicaps and severe illnesses . . . being physically handicapped or mentally retarded often leads to exclusion . . . and becoming a martyr might be the only chance of achieving social recognition and honour — if not just a way to end the pain of being socially isolated (which is especially traumatizing in collectivist cultures like Islam). Al Qaida’s use of people with Down’s syndrome might be another unpleasant side effect of the many chromosomal illnesses resulting from inbreeding between first cousins. People with low intelligence (because of inbreeding) might also be easier to brainwash with fundamentalist Islam.

Amen...It’s a shame the LSM worshipers don’t get on the bandwagon with this, I guess that’s too much to hope for.

Disgustingly, that’s exactly what I thought as well. If he wasn’t running for office, he’d roll out the red carpet for them. I’m not a fan of him as my governor, and I sure as hell don’t want him in the White House.

Sheep on FOX saying it’s against the law for states to refuse refugees. I hope they stick to their guns, some laws are meant to be broken. I think the Catholic charities need to be watched because they are the main ones involved in this.

what was that last 3 minutes? I think he was saying let’s don’t kick ass because “we’re better than that.” Am I right?
