The letter is as follows:
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
If Jindal had real courage, he would have had his National Guard there insisting that the mooselimbs get back on board their transport and leave. Let Obola call in US Army assets and let’s start to escalate things.
In this day and age, with what is at stake, a strongly worded letter is, well, pointless and won’t even be read.
Just ask the most transparent administration ever!
Oh, wait.
Trump was right. Send them back. Deport them!
The Honorable Barack Obama?
There is nothing honorable about that SOB.
Better still.
Bus them to DC and turn them loose.
...and I got a letter from someone named Bobby.
Doesn’t the Catholic Church administrate these Muslim importations?
Jindal has known they were coming into New Orleans weeks ago.
And only now does he speak out?
Now THAT is a PLAN! This should be causing a riot! (Except we all prefer ballgames.)
Why can’t the Syrian refugees be resettled in Guantanamo?
Doubtful there’ll be a reasonable response, but it’s what Jindal has to do.
Yep... a serious presidential candidate would use this as an opportunity...
Yes, Jindal does make sense! I agree.

A little late to be outraged isn’t it?
Wonder if he will get an answer? Where did they take them, oh, one of the Catholic charities.
Catholic Charities, all over the USA, is caring for these poor mates. /s
There are 10,000 in New Orleans, more promised, but these are to disburse to 24 cities, three of them in Louisiana.
This is coming Hell we are discussing. We are actually paralyzed. Americans are doing nothing, but discussing.
Last I read several families had already arrived in Louisiana, but many more are expected.
The feds are not sharing much refugee info with states.
A letter? He wrote a letter? Hahahahaha
Such a strong leader. Let’s elect him President!
Hahahahahaha
