Federal Judge Dismisses Texas' Lawsuit Over Syrian Refugees
ABC News ^ | June 16, 2016 | Paul J. Weber, AP

Posted on 06/16/2016 11:24:24 AM PDT by jazusamo

Texas' efforts to halt the arrival of Syrian refugees have been blocked by a federal judge, who rejected Republican leaders' claims that refugees pose an imminent risk or that states deserve a say in resettlements.

The ruling comes days after presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called to block non-citizen Muslims from entering the U.S. following the Orlando nightclub massacre.

U.S. District Judge David Godbey, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, had previously knocked Texas for offering "largely speculative hearsay" about extremists possibly infiltrating Syrian refugees. His ruling, which was signed Wednesday, rejected arguments that the Obama administration is wrongly leaving states on the sidelines when resettling refugees, which is handled by the federal government.

Apparently the judge just awoke from a three-day drunk and missed the weekend’s news.

Meanwhile.....
CIA Director John Brennan spoke before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday where he is expected to warn US lawmakers that Islamic State militants are training and preparing to deploy operatives for further attacks on the West and will rely more on guerrilla-style tactics to compensate for their territorial losses.

[Judge Godsby] had previously knocked Texas for offering "largely speculative hearsay" about extremists possibly infiltrating Syrian refugees . . .

As opposed to government speculative hearsay which says they are safe . . . including the Orlando shooter which the FBI investigated.

Trump should issue a statement that the so called “refugees” will be housed in DC while they wait for the deportation process to proceed.

This is insane. What the heck is wrong with these people? Have they become so much of statists, that they do what’s best for government and government employees, instead of what is best for the security of the American citizens???

The ruse of the whole immigration issue, by the corruptocrats is to keep the corrupt gravy train going for the government and government employees. To h*** with the security of the American people, when is this madness going to end?

That judge needs to be ousted for putting the selfish needs of the whole government complex ahead of the security of the American people. Yeah, this pisses me off because how many more Americans are going to have to die because of these corruptocrats (at all levels) insane traitorous actions.

Bush appointee says it all. The Bush family are Arab Lovers, and are pro immigration lovers. Always have been. This Judge has their mindset, which is why he was appointed to a judgeship by a Bush.

The state should just refuse. Turn back any vehicles not authorized by the State officials, and any that do get through just bus them to the nearest state line, let them off, point them away from the state and let them start walking.

Problem solved.

"Civil War II is coming"

It SHOULD, but at this point considering all we've WATCHED without taking action, I honestly believe we are frogs in water set to boil.

0dunga is willfully importing ISIS terrorists from the ME, even RAMPING UP the numbers while having torn down our border for a criminal illegal alien and OTM free-for-all, AND CONGRESS DOES NOTHING.

I guess I was wrong, someone once said the Constitution is not a suicide pact.
