November 14, 2015
The Honorable Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Obama,
In the wake of another round of appalling terrorist attacks, I write to express great sadness at the events in Paris, as well as my grave concern about the unreported diffusion of Syrian refugees in the United States.
Last week, the city of New Orleans began receiving its first wave of Syrian refugees. As with former immigration crises and federal relocation policy, Louisiana has been kept in the dark about those seeking refuge in the state. It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state's knowledge or involvement.
As Governor of Louisiana, I demand information about the Syrian refugees being placed in Louisiana in hopes that the night of horror in Paris is not duplicated here. In the wake of these atrocities, I also ask for details on the below:
What level of background screening was conducted prior to entry in the United States? In light of the fact that some of those responsible for last night's attacks held Syrian passports, what additional protections and screenings will be put in place?
Will all Syrian refugees seeking relocation in the United States now be cleared by the Terrorist Screening Center? What degree of monitoring will be sustained after initial placement in Louisiana?
As Americans, we embolden freedom and opportunity to the rest of the world, but by opening up our borders and refusing to collaborate or share information with states, you are threatening that reality.
Mr. President, in light of these attacks on Paris and reports that one of the attackers was a refugee from Syria, it would be prudent to pause the process of refugees coming to the United States. Authorities need to investigate what happened in Europe before this problem comes to the United States.
Sincerely, Governor Bobby Jindal
I say, house them in the White House with Obama and his clan until they are fully vetted.
i
Put them in jail Jindal - sort it out later.
Didn’t Jindal know something about this before?
I keep reading different accounts of how many “refugees” there are. Any where from 40 to 10,000.
What is the truth?
Don’t hold your breath, Bobby.
The people need to take to the streets, massive protests until these young male refugees are sent back.
Bobby he won’t read your letter. Duh
Besides being a rabid attack dog on Trump’s rump, Jindal makes more sense than most national politicians.
Two things that can be counted on, the process is Byzantine, and involves the feds giving money to the state.
Or given free short rides in a helicopter over the ocean ...
Just ask the most transparent administration ever!
Oh, wait.
What level of background screening was conducted prior to entry in the United States? In light of the fact that some of those responsible for last night's attacks held Syrian passports, what additional protections and screenings will be put in place?
None.
Will all Syrian refugees seeking relocation in the United States now be cleared by the Terrorist Screening Center? What degree of monitoring will be sustained after initial placement in Louisiana?
No, there are too many of them to vet.
As Americans, we embolden freedom and opportunity to the rest of the world, but by opening up our borders and refusing to collaborate or share information with states, you are threatening that reality.
Are you threatening me?
Mr. President, in light of these attacks on Paris and reports that one of the attackers was a refugee from Syria, it would be prudent to pause the process of refugees coming to the United States. Authorities need to investigate what happened in Europe before this problem comes to the United States. Too late. They're he-e-e-re.
Obama
Don’t hold your breath Bobby.
Yep... a serious presidential candidate would use this as an opportunity...
A facsimile of Obama’s arrest warrant on terrorism and human trafficking charges should he ever set foot in Louisiana would have been more appropriate.
In the spirit of peace and friendship, I ask all my fellow Louisianians to join me in inviting some of our new muslim neighbors on a swamp tour so they can be properly introduced to the local culture.
Don’t they have any FEMA camps in LA? Sounds like a good place to put them until they are TOTALLY vetted.
Tent them on the South Lawn. Vetting, however, is of no use. The most readsonable of muzzie yutes can readily acquire SJS and go wacko within days. Eschew them all.
The governor must put a halt to this treason! Islam is the enemy! These are muslim soldiers, ie, jihadists! Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is treason. Harboring enemy soldiers is treason!
If he is truly concerned for the citizens of Louisiana, he may want to consider having the State Police round these “refugees” up and detain them until at such time the Feds can provide complete background checks on them ensuring the state that they pose no threat to the community.
I don't think the people of Louisiana would mind if he did this. And those are the only people he should concern himself with ... not the useless scum in D.C.
