Jindal demands answers about Syrian refugees arriving to Louisiana after Paris attacks
KATC.com ^ | 11/14/2015 | Bobby Jindal letter

Posted on 11/14/2015 3:13:41 PM PST by Marie

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

That’s what I say, Kenny. It’s as if we Americans are in a trance. We talk everything to death, but firmly do NOTHING.

We are so done as a people. Our ancestors must be turning over... with shame.

Don’t hold your breath, Bobby.

Yup, if he thinks he will get an answer, he is going to be a molderin' in the grave long before that.

With the attacks in Paris, these “refugees” land in New Orleans. Kind of ironic, n’est pas? Coincidence?

Let me think. I believe I read it in the middle of the night off of lucianne., but I’m not certain. I’m sorry. You are right to question me, because I can confuse sources.

Check out Google search.

This is a golden opportunity for Jindal to jump out political “no-where'sville” to close to the front of the line!

He needs to announce (with appropriate Louisiana National Guard & State Police senior officials in the background) in no uncertain terms that they are not coming to Louisiana!
Announce that any federal official who participates and performs these actions on state soil will be arrested and prosecuted for endangering Louisiana citizenry. It's his job as the Governor of Louisiana to protect it's citizens!

He needs to force a confrontation based on state sovereignty.

I don’t know about that but we were told to pray for the Syrian refugees at mass a few weeks ago.

Call out the Louisiana national Guard, and if Obama tries to interfere roust him like they did the Katrina survivors.

This is trouble. The pope recommended it, has taken in two families himself. La La land. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)is mostly happy to comply. Not ALL, by any means, but mostly.

It is all tied in with illegal immigration and the open border crowd and plenty of Marx and liberation theology, imho.

God help us. I can not make this compute.

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.

If the me muzz don't like pork, maybe they'll get a real thrill out of nutria.

“The people need to take to the streets, massive protests until these young male refugees are sent back.”

That,of course,is the answer.

I can’t figure out why the people of LA haven’t done that already.

If people just sit around on their butts and Tweet complaints nothing will change.
