Obama Administration Threatens States to Admit Syrian Refugees or Face ‘Enforcement Action’

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.”

Yeah, have you looked into what they’ve done to Sheriff Arpaio lately?

They aren't sending them to any centralized locations. They are using Section 8 and quartering them in your neighborhoods; you probably haven't noticed yet. Watch those homes that were foreclosed and taken by the banks and were empty for a long time. You'll also see the American Red Cross or other NGO vehicles coming through your neighborhood on deliveries. And they're not delivering birth control.

Spoken from experience. All of the above has been happening here since at least last spring. Ever since they were able to shut down Sheriff Joe's operations.

“on the basis of religion and national origin.” How about refusing them on the basis of security for the people in the state?

islam is not a religion. That position should be codified.

Get 'er done cowards.

[Glad2bnuts]

I would like to see him force refugees into a State. He can threaten, take financial revenge, or shoot. All three things will cost him his entire wallet of political capital.

It is frustrating to constantly read comments suggesting and demanding impeachment. Congress must impeach. They will Not. They are the enablers. They are the problem. It is the duty of congress to protect the constitution and states rights. Our government is no different than any other third world dictator.

[b4its2late]

He’s trying to do all he can to screw up the country before he has to leave. He should’ve been removed years ago.

[Monkey Face]

...your spineless leadership is transformative.. as is Obammy’s Ovomit's agenda.

There. Fixed it.

[COBOL2Java]

Or what boy?

"Don't call my bluff!"

[Candor7]

Bring it you bat eared ,treasonous, wilted homo psychopomp! The sleazy plick now has Erdogan of Turkey doing the bad to Russia. What a coward Obama is, sleezy ba$tard!Nothing but a whahabe ISIS supporter who lets Saudi Arabia call all of the shots at home and US policies abroad. I am suprised that the Egyptians, Libyans, and Russians are still allowing him to waste perfectly good Oxygen.

I’ll be so glad when the bat eared sleeze is gone. He’s HORRIBLE.

If, as is said, the eyes are the windows of the soul, there's a cesspit in there.

[dandiegirl]

He won’t win pitting Americans against foreign Muslims.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I don’t get it. Since the 60s, the commie DemocRATS have been telling us that the pilgrims were bad, evil people who brought hatred and genocide to America. They brought their diseases to kill the Indians and shoved their religion down the throats of the Indians. Now, those same commie ‘RATS want us to welcome the refujihadi “pilgrims” with open arms. I guess we’re the Indians now.

As we had discussed over the yeras, now we see the OPbama kinder and gentler liberal fascism morphing ito what EVERYONE can now recognize as fascism.

Obama cares not a wit what people want or desire. He is basically dictating policy to the whole country....OR ELSE!

This could actually be the start of a civil war. Big time.

Lets bring it and get it over with. The USA and The People deny that Obama has moral superiority. He is actually inferior to those who founded the nation.He is a traitor to boot.

Please let there be ONE governor that makes a stand and tells 0bama, to go eff himself and directs his State Police to round up all of the troops 0bama is trying to quarter in the state, bus them to Washington D.C. and release them on the Whitehouse lawn.

[Rodamala]

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

A lot more than people dare admit, thanks to the purges at the top, and the social engineering at the bottom.

No worries. We got this.

Expect us.

[Eleutheria5]

At this point, the choice is between welcoming hordes of un-screened “refugees” from a land of homicidal mania into your state, or starting CW2. 50 governors, not counting Guam and Puerto Rico, have to ask themselves which is preferable.

[HomerBohn]

Rise up, Americans and cast the shackles and toss this enemy out of the White Hut and without ‘pension’ and ‘benefits’.

[KTM rider]

All of the evidence seems to be that Obama is helping to build the califate

I could swear he is a muslim implant and practicing taqiyya

[Neoliberalnot]

Either the states resist this Muslim maggot or the innocent, the defenseless, and the unarmed will be butchered. Where do we stand and draw that line?
