Wave of Governors Say Their States Will Refuse Syrian Refugees

Second, with the 2016 elections rapidly approaching, and so many vulnerable Democrats on the ballot in the states whose Governors want to refuse Syrian refugees, it would not be surprising if Obama got pressure, both openly and behind the scenes, from members of his own party. It is noteworthy that the list of states participating includes both early primary states Iowa and New Hampshire, as well as swing states like Florida and Ohio.

This story is, once again, an illustration of the importance of local and state elections. The reason this issue is making news is due in no small part to the increased numbers of Governors who are Republicans. Local elections matter.

No more MUSLIM refugees from ANYWHERE.

IF ISIS IS CONTAINED THEN THE REFUGEES CAN GO HOME!

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

There is only ONE solution to this problem. CHARGE ODUNGA WITH TREASON AND REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE. He KNOWS ISIS are among the refugees, AS IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THEY ARE yet he continues to import them. Is this not TREASON? He is in CLEAR violation of his oath of office.

Is the #BlackLivesMatter movement his insurance policy against getting impeached?

[Smokin' Joe]

I think you can add ND to the list, too: Statement by Governor's Office and link

[FourPeas]

Good exploration of the issue. As with the Planned Parenthood funding, it points out why popular election of senators broke the separation of powers. The federal government is far too powerful and can overpower the states far too easily.

[Calpublican]

{”There is only ONE solution to this problem. CHARGE ODUNGA WITH TREASON AND REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE”}

Just based on his recent statements about his responsibility as president, or lack thereof, is grounds, not to mention his actions.

If our legislators had a half ball between they would go forward.

Liberals who want to let Muslim refugees into America need to answer two questions:

Why do Muslims, who hate everything about American culture and laws, want to live here?

Will these refugees agree to bake gay wedding cakes and celebrate the gay lifestyle?

Declare your state a “Sanctuary State” and tell the feds to go to Hell. Seems to work for the Democrat cities that don’t want to follow federal immigration law.

It is a clear violation of the third and tenth Amendments

[Pollster1]

Those who can concealed carry should. Always. Those who cannot carry firearms or have limited boating skills and cannot seem to retain firearms should at least carry a useful pocketknife every day. We should all practice drawing and opening that knife one-handed, or get a new knife that can be opened with one hand (details depend on local knife laws).

The idea that a few thugs with AKs could shoot 100+ innocents in France disgusts me. Once their intent to commit mass murder was clear (or even once they threatened one person), they should have been shooting at a human wave of armed men - wielding knives, clubs, chairs, or even baguettes - but not cowering on the floor while waiting to be shot. Cringing and crying is how democrats die, not how men die. The correct response:

“Let’s roll!”

[MrB]

Governor Chickenpooper in Colorado said he’d take them all.

[tumblindice]

And a number of `rat mayors said they were welcome.
What’s the problem? Send them to blue places.

[Calpublican]

How does the third amendment apply?

[digger48]

But will stoned Jihadists really ever carry out their attacks or just sit around on the couch all day choomin' ?

[jonrd463]

As to the question of legality, it’s simple really. As long as sanctuary cities can give immigration law the middle finger, so can these governors do likewise to 0bama vis a vis the refugees.

Is the #BlackLivesMatter movement his insurance policy against getting impeached?

That terrorist threat has always been there. It just didn't have a name until a couple of months before the 2104 elections

[digger48]

Why do Muslims liberals , who hate everything about American culture and laws, want to live here?

[digger48]

ooops..left off part of that..

Why do Muslims liberals , who hate everything about American culture and laws, want to live here?

Fundmental Transformation?

” No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Third Amendment

The feds can not force non feds to take and house others against their will.
