Mike Pence wants to keep Syrian refugees out of Indiana. They’re coming anyway
Washington Post ^ | 28 August 2016 | Katie Zezima

After a terrorist attack in Paris last year carried out in part by Islamist terrorists who masqueraded as migrants, Gov. Mike Pence directed all state agencies to halt the resettlement of Syrian refugees here in Indiana.

Pence is now running on the Republican presidential ticket with Donald Trump, who has called for a temporary ban on Muslims coming into the United States, halting immigration from unspecified countries and sending Syrian refugees back to their war-torn homeland. During the campaign, Pence has also boasted about his move to block refugees in his state.

“In Indiana, we suspended the Syrian refugee program . . . in the wake of the terrorist attack,” Pence said on CBS’s “60 Minutes” last month.

But things did not quite work out the way Pence says they did.

And we thought this was “the land of the free.” What a lie, when the federal government can move strangers from enemy countries into your town without even announcing their intentions. Then the federal government expects school districts to cope with students who cannot function in America. Many “refugees” are openly hostile to our way of life, as they accept our welfare and social services and do nothing to earn them. They consider us weak-minded and inferior and one can see why.

The guy who shot up Trolley Square in Salt Lake City, planted the Boston Marathon bombs and the couple who gunned down their co-workers at a San Bernardino Christmas Party are just a few examples of the “careful vetting” by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the State Department.

Of course they are.

Obama absolutely delights in getting in his opponents faces and flipping them the bird. Has been like that since his days in the Choom Gang.

They interviewed a refugee who had been here 6+ months, noting her husband had found a job, and the kids had been enrolled in school. . . .

. . . through an interpreter. You’d THINK that someone who had been brought here and supported for over half a year could have made an effort to LEARN THE LANGUAGE. . . .

You cant keep them out. But you CAN refuse to spend a single state dime on them. Direct state agencies to refuse to participate. Refuse to assist any private group that is profiting off them.

Fight back.

Half the time the Governor does not even know the rapefugees have arrived. I knew about the first batch in GA before Nathan Deal did. He tried to put a ban on it but as soon as the DOJ threatened to sue he folded like a cheap suit. Now they are pouring into our area.

Load them on a bus and drop them off in front of the White House and tell obama to go to hell, if he wants these savages here they are. If all the governors did that all he could do was threaten to with hold federal funds. Call his bluff, as governor come out and say the president cares more about possible terrorist than American citizens.

Not true. CA passed a referendum in the mid-80s to deny public schooling, welfare, etc. to illegals. Scotus disagreed.
