President Barack Obama has warned state governors that he will take enforcement action against them if they turn away Syrian refugees.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement noted that the U.S. government plans to resettle at least 10,000 Syrian refugees fleeing civil war and terrorism in the U.S. during 2016, but acknowledged that some state and local leaders have "expressed concerns" at the resettlement program.
"Accordingly, states may not categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees," the letter from Wednesday read. "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."
As many as 26 governors have said they are not on board with accepting Syrian refugees, citing security concerns, especially with the terror attacks in Paris earlier this month, where 130 people were killed.
A Bloomberg poll from last week suggested that more than half, or 53 percent of Americans, share the same concerns and would oppose taking in more Syrian refugees.

Bring it On!
Sadly I do not know a governor who will stand up for real
But here in NY...you know how it is....we’ll take’m all.
So the threat to not want refugees is to cut off funding for refugees?
Traitorobama threatens states if they don’t give aid and comfort to the enemy.
And Traitorcongress continues to do.................................................... nothing.
Bammy is going to attack Saudi Arabia and Iran?
Better they go to New York as New York is a lost cause.
They want to send them to Red States in order to change the demographics of the states and ensure Democrat victories in the future.
He that has the gold makes the rules.
Abbot, he can’t literally stand up (think Stand up Chuck), but he will hold firm.
If they call Obama’s bluff, he will evaporate and that should be good for a 10 point bump in Trump’s numbers.
I’m all for it. Go for it, Fed Boys. You can whip EVERYBODY.
And Traitorcongress continues to do.................................................... nothing
*****************
It will be very interesting to see how many seats the Republicrats lose in 2016. The congress is a vast wasteland of nothingness. Time to send the scoundrels packing.
Yes!
Rip it open and drive people over the edge.
It is time for citizens to get started in taking the country back.
[[So the threat to not want refugees is to cut off funding for refugees?]]
Yes because funding for refugees/illegals to states is HUGE- and the states do not want to lose that money evidently- Expect almost every state to tuck tail and comply
You can’t make us!! Go to Hell!! We are saving our people and our money!! Take them yo GITMO.
He has 14 more months to destroy this country.
