Above, states where governors have voiced opposition to Syrian refugees are in dark red, with states voicing support for the resettlement in pink. Gray states have not made a statement, suggested a review of the policy or have said that they do not expect and refugees would be sent to them. Kentucky's outgoing Democratic governor has indicated that he will follow the federal government's lead on the issue, though the governor-elect, a Republican, has said that he would not

Kansas did the right thing, but of course we have morons on both sides.

My home state, the Communist People’s Republic of NY, has made no statement. I can translate that non-statement as “We’re taking them but don’t want the negative publicity. Give them to us but do it quietly.”

Send them all to NY. Let see how much the sanctimonious media talking heads like having them living in their neighborhoods.

President Poppinoff said we’re going to take them whether we want them or not. What ever happened to that government “of the people, by the people, FOR THE PEOPLE”?

A point has been brought up about these so-called ‘refugees’, aside from a political one.

How many of these buzzards have any kind of real skills, because there is a bunch of radio talk about these fools REPLACING you at YOUR job?

Surprised at Montana. I have a feeling that should be colored gray.

Also surprised at Oregon. My guess is they are begging for to help Obama any way they can.

The Govt has contracted with agencies like Catholic Charities to accept and move the “refugees” to “processing centers” run by the agencies. This is happening now.

How does a governor’s words stop that? How does a governor’s words override a contract let by the government?

I think it’s going to take a cordon of National Guard and sheriff’s deputies to stop the bus and turn it around with a warning not to stop until it’s back at the port- words won’t work here.

Did Mr. Tolerant open his heart to Christian Refugees from Iraq? Didn’t think so.

Then he needs to STFU.

The State have no say in this issue. Obama and the UN make the choices of what refugees come here and where they go.

Liberal elites don't care if American women and children are killed in 'flyover'... Liberal elites care if people at fancy DC dinner parties see them as 'compassionate' and as 'citizens of the world'. This is about their big fat egos... it not about protecting the American people -it's about them 'looking good' to fellow elites they want to impress.

If our children are blown up in flyover it's entertainment for DC elites - and an excuse for them to expand their already bloated bureaucracies.

Our New and supposed Grand Leader of the House could cut the purse strings off of all of obuma’s next 14 months...drop him to his knees and tell him, when you can accept the fact that we don't want ‘Syrian refugees’ we will take up the discussion at that time....

But he won't, he'll bend over just like ‘drunken johnny’....

Very public postulating about “Syrians”.

Not so much about those illegal troublemakers flooding our non-existant Southern border and bringing their criminality to every state daily...

This, like every other lie coming out of a politician’s mouth, is just for show.

Here’s a listing of government contractors who are implementing the importation and resettlement of immigrant refugees. I still have not stumbled across an actual contract. If we can do that we can follow the money, and start to raise local awareness.

Don’t hold your breath these will stand firm. Give them a few weeks when everyone forgets about France (and they will) and the governors will open it up again on the sly.

Every time the msm asks our leaders about terrorists and letting in any foreigner, they should stand up to state they were voted for by the citizens of the US and they will do their duty to the US citizens and protect them. They are not elected by foreigners. America first. Any leader who doesn’t, should be run out on a rail. Frankly, any state allowing any race, creed or color immigrant in these times should be shamed. Any state not enforcing the laws on the books to turn in illegals are not putting America first. All illegals need to be deported. Their employers fined. Sanctuary cities should get no tax dollars and their leaders arrested for aiding and abetting criminals. Welfare and all freebies should be stopped for illegals. All those on expired visas should be put on the first plane out. And we can start deportations in D.C.

Yeah, I know. It isn’t going to happen under this administration.
