The tiny farming community of Louise was an exception in a Deep South where resistance to resettling refugees from the Syrian conflict was ramping up after the attacks in Paris. Those opposed say extremists could be among those who are resettled.
At the same time that this small rural community was welcoming refugees, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said he would do "everything humanly possible" to keep refugees from his state.
Then, last Tuesday, the votes of the month-long referendum in Louise were counted: the tally was 37 against and three in favor of welcoming refugees, according to Mayor Thomas Ruffin Smith. Following the vote count, the board of aldermen rescinded the resolution. ...

The three who voted to take the savages need to take in a male “refugee” aged 24.

Imagine how long a squad of Islamic rapists would last in the Magnolia State. Possibly 5 seconds longer than their “manhood”. lol

Its one thing to say no, putting up a sign that says NO and then finding out they infiltrated in, then you have to root them out all the while they play the tear jerked sympathy card.
Or they dig in like a deep woods tic, foraging out, looking to rape and spread the islamic bloodline.

Meanwhile, in the New York Times and Washington Post editorial offices......
“Humphreys County, Mississippi -———must be a bunch of racist, bigot, honkey, cracker, white rednecks.”
(The county is 3/4 black).
And what are these Syrians going to do for jobs in one of the poorest counties in the land? Do they know a lot about raising catfish?

Just because they voted not to take them does not mean Obamugabe won’t send them.

Bless their hearts.
Frankly, I’m proud of them.
At least the voters aren’t concerned about the mayor’s possible rewards.

Pay attention to just HOW MUCH the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY
HATES CHRISTIANS !
This stinking piece of crap that's defiling our Oval Office is importing the Radical Islamists that will kill us.
When will congress get the guts to IMPEACH, CONVICT and EXECUTE that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF ?
Read this article that exposes FACTS about Obama at Occidental College in 1981:
Also, don't forget this:
I'll bet the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY are intending on EVERY ONE OF THEM to be used for importing a RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST !
UNHCR data confirms it: 75% of the so-called refugees arriving in Europe are MEN.
Invasion of Europe news….
We mentioned recently that it appears from some photos that the invaders of Europe are mostly fighting age young men.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees does not tell us their ages, but does tell us that 75% are men. (Germans hide your daughters!)
Only 51% are Syrians, the rest are from all over the Middle East and Africa.
So, did the men abandon their women and children back home (in an unsafe country)?

It shows what we here in Mississippi are fighting from the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF,
and how determined he is to IMPORT a Muslim ARMY to slaughter us with.
