President Barack Obama has warned state governors that he will take enforcement action against them if they turn away Syrian refugees.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement noted that the U.S. government plans to resettle at least 10,000 Syrian refugees fleeing civil war and terrorism in the U.S. during 2016, but acknowledged that some state and local leaders have "expressed concerns" at the resettlement program.
"Accordingly, states may not categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees," the letter from Wednesday read. "Any state with such a policy would not be in compliance with the State Plan requirements, applicable statutes, and their own assurances, and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension and termination."
As many as 26 governors have said they are not on board with accepting Syrian refugees, citing security concerns, especially with the terror attacks in Paris earlier this month, where 130 people were killed.
A Bloomberg poll from last week suggested that more than half, or 53 percent of Americans, share the same concerns and would oppose taking in more Syrian refugees.

Of course, governors in those days filled out their trousers better than today's.
The Repubs say no....because blackmail is not in play.
Thanks for posting. Someplace, I have a very old, little, government issued, pamphlet entitled the Alien & Sedition Acts.
More fodder for Trump campaign
If he withholds funding from the fed to the states, those states should not send a dime of taxes to DC but use that money to replace money denied them. According to the Constitution, the President does not have the power of the purse.
I certainly hope that everyone has a good ammo stock since I think the time has finally come to use it for the preservation of the America we used to know.
This revolution will be no different than the one we had over 200 years ago with King George. This time it will be with OOOOOGA BOOGA, the King of America.
It’s amazing to grow old and actually watch our society self-destruct and the freedoms we actually had back then evaporate before our very eyes.
Worse yet, to be old enough to watch the youth of America become totally “programmed” by indoctrination centers, video indoctrination businesses and finally, by the colleges and institutes of higher “education”.
I knew this day would come and the trigger that will finally cause it to happen will be the death of Trump or something else that stops him from becoming our leader.
I used to believe that I would die a natural death but now I am uncertain that will happen for I will die fighting to keep myself from becoming a slave to the government.
How come Merkel and Obummer are on the same page re Muzzie immigration? I always thot’ Merkel thot’ Obummer was a dunce and it confounds me now that they both dance to the same tune.
Trump is right, kick all the illegals including the refugees the hell out.
Put them in D.C.
Better now than later. It is long past time for Congress and the governors to stand up.
That’s about right for this POS Obama. Sanctuary cities don’t have to follow federal law, but governors who do not want “refugees” without sold vetting will be prosecuted. Yup, that makes sense.
“...could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension and termination.”
They will terminate the Statehood? Is that all it takes?
When I do something I surely won’t be stupid enough to post my plans in a public forum beforehand.
But I do know what you’ll be doing. Whimpering in a corner hoping God whips up a miracle while savages are selling your daughters into slavery.
How did that work out for the Yazids?

At this point, I hold Congress and the media responsible for the over-throw of the United States by the Obamatollah.
Congress MUST use article 25 of the US Constitution:
Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Otherwise, our elected officials in Congress will have the nation’s blood on it’s hands. Period.
Man, when are the states going to learn to use the power of the 10th Amendment, STATES RIGHTS.
My 5N give is a RINO
This is another reason why the direct election of Senators is wrong.
If Congress wasn’t so impotent, it could tie 0Bamma in knots for the next 14 months.
Yawn.
FUBO.
