Obama administration officials tried to reassure dozens of wary governors in a closed-door meeting that President Obama's proposal to relocate Middle Eastern refugees in their states is safe, two governors said Monday.
The briefing by senior administration officials last weekend was an effort to "find solutions to some misunderstandings and apprehensions that are out there," said Gov. Gary Herbert, Utah Republican and chairman of the National Governors Association.
Asked whether the meeting eased states' concerns about accepting refugees from crisis areas such as Syria and Iraq, Mr. Herbert replied, "We still have work to do."
After Mr. Obama announced his plan last fall to admit up to 10,000 refugees into the U.S. this year, governors of 30 states from Maine to Wyoming publicly asked for the resettlement of Syrian refugees to stop until security concerns and procedures could be addressed. New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan was the lone Democrat in the group.
The resistance to refugees intensified after Islamist terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, which raised fears of Islamic State fighters sneaking into the U.S. as refugees.

The words of Josh Earnest come easy for him, especially his and 0bama’s lies.
I’ll bet that our RAT Gov, Maggie Haaassssaaan will try to cram a bunch of them down our throats.
Time for us to buy more ammo.
The Governors had better stand together and tell Obama to kiss their azzes.
I trust Israel to vet them.
Here in Washington state we have a RAT governor who will be happy to help. We have a few sanctuary cities here, after all.
True that, and 0bama would have a stroke if they did, a win win.
Versus just dumping them on them (and not telling them).
[ I trust Israel to vet them. ]
No No.... Obama has pissed off Israel to the point that they would probably keep the good ones for themselves and send us the worst of the worst...
Maybe Slovakia could vet them, and only send us the Christian ones.
Lock and load. My governor caved right away, I am sure.
Fifty years from now, their great great grandchildren can look them up on Ancestry.com like we do for ours who passed through Ellis Island. And hey, maybe Syria’s infection clears up and some of them go back.
Some stuff you just gotta do old school.
Yes, the RATs are everywhere. Disgusting.
Do you trust Israel to vet them?
Big deal here. HUGE deal.
There is no need or good reason to bring these butt hiking, head banging, mecca pointing rejects of humanity to the USA.
They chose their cult to follow and need to sleep in the bed they have made. islam will never give up trying to force every man, woman and child to join their evil cult. They themselves say it’s islam or death...I say give them the only logical option.
Great Pics Bon mots!! Get some MORE if you can— Compare “some” of the GREAT Contributions PAST Immigrants from Ellis Island Gave as they BELONGED as they JOINED “America” in; Arts, Science, Medical,Space, etc.. according to their Previous Education and Potential—THEN do a Mock up what “SYRIAN: Ex-Bombers/ bomb makers, Militants,ISIS supporters would “Bring” to the “ Great Quilt “ that is America!! It would Make NYC look like your 2nd Picture hear below!— Maybe that IS what OBAMA & Libbies WANT!!: Bombed-out Harlem & NYC & Bronx!- ( but I don’t know about L.A. & California! I think M-13 groups would crave them up!! Hahaha!) But maybe that IS what Obama WANTS!! DA
Scalia and Ron Brown.
Get the hint gubna?
The first reference to an Arab spring came from Bush. Sorry.
Obama promised CHANGE, and he’s trying to bring us the same change that his policies brought to the women and children of Sweden, to the women and teens of Cologne, to the concert attendees of Paris, and even to girls in Tokyo. With a few hundred thousand refugees who reject American culture, he can continue to be remembered for decades, perhaps generations. He’s not actually Satan or the Antichrist, I think, but he make a real effort to make us wonder if he might be.
