Obama recently berated those who oppose allowing Syrian refugees entry to the US.

"That's shameful. That's not American. That's not who we are," said our Incompetent in Chief.

No, Barry, the real "shameful, not American, not who we are" thing is: having you in the WH.

Via Washington Examiner:

The State Department said Tuesday that it believes state governors have little say over whether they will house refugees from Syria or anywhere else in the world, and that once they arrive, refugees can choose to live in any state they want.

"They can ultimately choose wherever they want to go,"State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.

The question of refugee rights has come up as many governors have said they would refuse people from Syria, over fears that members of the Islamic State may try to slip in posing as refugees. One of the Paris attackers entered France that way.

The Obama administration has said it would make no changes to its plan to take up to 10,000 Syrian refugees this year. Toner said under current law, any refugee who land in the U.S. is"“protected by the Constitution and federal law."

Legal experts have said they agree that there's little states can do to stop the federal government from placing refugees in their states, even if they disagree.

They are also signed up automatically for welfare and government housing.

Questions about this topic will not be discussed at either the Rino or Donkey debates.

There may be a show down between the feds and the state National Guards.

In theory...

here may be a show down between the feds and the state National Guards.

I hope so. Somebody has to have the courage to draw the line in the sand and say 'no more.' It would be tough, but not as tough as Obama declaring martial law and cancelling the elections.

No, Megyn will be doing her tabloid number in the next Fox debate.

[conservativejoy]

My husband has said all along that that was Obama’s goal.

Peeps are free to move about, but not while on the public dole.

[JustaCowgirl]

I’m afraid that’s what I think he’s going to do, too.

[babygene]

So if the states with hold welfare and housing, then they move to a state that welcomes them I guess...

Is there a betting pool on when the next so-called "refugee" will go all "Tsarnaev Brothers" on some American innocents peacefully minding their own business?

Oh, I see. It’s not a new IPA.

[Ray76]

Congress could put an immediate stop to it. They won’t.

[jpsb]

Might this be the issue where the states and the people say “no more”? Hmmmm.

[Ray76]

Makes the case for repeal of the 17th Amendment.

That’s what is corroding the lamp posts in San Fran.

So it's okay if they want to stay in the White House, Pentagon or even your house Mr. Toner?
