"A fast-growing group of Republican governors on Monday revolted against President Barack Obama’s existing plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees next year..."

"... saying the Paris terrorist attacks show that it’s too risky to provide a safe haven for those displaced by Syria’s bloody civil war...."
By Monday afternoon, governors from Texas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Ohio, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Jersey, Idaho, Kansas, New Hampshire and Montana had joined Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who on Sunday led the charge in refusing to accept refugees from Syria. Kentucky Governor-elect Matt Bevin, who won't take his oath of office until next month, also said on Monday that he is opposed.
ADDED: New Hampshire and Montana have Democratic governors.

Actually federal law is part of this and the governors cannot do that.

But, maybe a few Democrat senators from those states will now be willing to IMPEACH Obama. He is beginning to become a great liability to this country and to the Democrats.

The NH gov is a Dem and she joined in. Probably because she is running against Sen. Kelly Ayotte in 2016 and wouldn't have a prayer if she didn't.

They are saying they will not cooperate with the Feds. Can you say non-sanctuary state?

Hagar म्हणाले...

This is kind of silly.
While it is quite true that there is no way of vetting the Syrian refugees for ISIS ties, there is no way of vetting any other groups of immigrants either, no to mention the gadzillions of illegal aliens that actually are being invited to enter our country.

It is remarkable the amount of nonsense being spouted in response to the Paris attacks.

People need to realize that Obama is not going to listen to any of this. He is the smartest man in the room, and all will proceed as he has foreseen.

And if I understand the rports correctly, a substantial portion of the "Syrian refugees," perhaps most of them, are not from Syria in the first place.
People are fleeing the war zone, which is all of

This is a twofer for Obama. He gets to call us xenophobic jerks for objecting to bringing in a bunch of single military age males from Syria. Then when there is a mass shooting in a gun free zone he can push more gun control.

I think any woman and child that wants to come in is fine. Any male over the age of 17 without both wife and child should be fighting to fix their country.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

There's actually a pretty easy solution: accept only Syrian Christians.

Help millions, leave tens of millions and a wasteland behind. The humanitarian response is not to apply anti-native foreign and domestic policies, but to join Russia's lead and directly confront the consequences of the ill-conceived social justice movement. Especially the effort to conduct a transparent replacement of the millions of Americans killed with the selective-child policy by the abortion and planning industry.

I would think a minimum would be a system that requires a vetted sponsor for each refugee with the requirement that the sponsor is legally responsible for them for the next 18 years in the same way a parent is responsible for a minor child.

MayBee म्हणाले...

It would be so cool to have a real conversation about this.

Like, if Obama thinks we can take in refugees and safely screen them, he should describe that process in detail. Then we would have some information to make our own judgements.

That isn't how Obama operates these days.

Hagar म्हणाले...

"Radical Islam," or whatever you want to call it, is not just an "ISIS" or "al Qaeda" problem to be solved with bombing raids "making the gravel bounce." It is going to take "boots on the ground," a lot of them, and Arabic speaking ones. That means taking leadership, deciding on a strategy, and choosing allies to woo.

Obama has sort of done this; it is hard to tell exactly with his "leading from behind" approach, but it seems that he has decided to put his, or rather our, money on Iran.
This is a country that is aspiring to become an empire in the old tradition, and itself is governed by clerics of a rather uncompromising version of Islam.

I do not think this is going to work out the way he thinks it will.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

So what's new? The Obama Administration has always been at war with America.

Deception is the art of war. And the Deception Level under War Sheik Obama has been near 100%. Nothing he says has any truth anywhere in it.

Global Warming and rising sea levels that do not exist?

Unemployment Statistics that do not exist?

Support for ally Israel that does not exist?

Racial harmony that does no longer exists?

Cheap available Health Insurance that does not exist?

The Keystone pipeline with ally Canada that does not exist?

Support for ally Egypt that does not exist?

Support for the ally Kurds that does not exist.

Support for a strong military that no longer exists.

The question is whether Obama's Justice Department dissolve the Union now. Without a Congress, who the heck needs States anyway?

Do the governors have the Constitutional authority to refuse to accept "migrants" that the federal government has allowed into the country? Does the President have the Constitutional authority to decide that 5 million illegal aliens can stay here and get drivers licenses and work permits and welfare? Well, I guess the thing is, the Constitution doesn't seem to have the authoritativeness it used to have, back in the olden times when almost all responsible Americans thought they should obey it, even when they didn't want to.

Civil disobedience is an honorable thing, isn't it?

Or, as Nixon said, It's not illegal if the President does it.

More military age males among the refugees than women and young children. Except for the Chaldean (Iraqi) Christians and Syrian Christian, all of whom are being exterminated by the Moslems, I wouldn't accept any refugees from the Middle East until and if things get sorted out. There's plenty of room in the Moslem nations of the Middle East.

Don't recall any place in the Constitution which requires us to take in anyone who wants to come here. We should get to choose who gets in and who stays out. It shouldn't be the immigrants/refugees call.

When they cover the migrants, they focus on the sad eyed child and the weeping mother. The young man with the fierce beard right behind her not so much......Nor do they ask probing questions of these hopeful citizens. What's their opinion of America's alliance with Israel? Do they approve of gay marriage?

Listened to the Meghan McCain radio show today in traffic. I know, but I sometimes like to know what the RINOs are up to. She had a counter terrorism guy on discussing the Paris attack. The conversation got around to the refugees and Obama's plan to import them. He said it was impossible to vet them unless they had international criminal records. We have no access to the war torn regions databases, even Iraq's is inadequate.

The thing that struck me was his mention of polling of refugee camps by NGOs and opinion polling companies. He said that 14-17% of the refugees support Isis. He said those numbers were striking considering Isis isn't that popular. The popularity of Hamas and Hezbollah soar.

So, WTF

"There's actually a pretty easy solution: accept only Syrian Christians."

That sounds good, but how do they distinguish them? Anyone can claim to be Christian.

I think it goes without saying for any immigrant or refugee we take in that we find some way to verify that they aren't dangerous before releasing them from the detention centers. It isn't hard for ISIS sympathizers to infiltrate the other refugees (and the other refugees likely can't tell who's who) in order to get here and do mischief. What are our normal procedures for this, and how well do they work?

The sad part is I can sympathize with Christians and Muslims trying to get away from those monsters, and because those monsters are so devious that they could try and infiltrate the emigrants, it brings everyone else under a cloud of suspicion.

I hope when they do catch some of these guys they go to town on them.

When a dam breaks, you can futilely try to keep ahead of the flood by bailing water as fast as you can, or you can go fix the dam and stem the flood at the source. This flood of refugees is not going to abate until the West, probably in the form of NATO, goes and fixes the root cause of the flood. Nothing else is going to work, and anyone who thinks they can get ahead of this flood by taking a few thousand or few ten thousand refugees is delusional. Fortunately, many Europeans are starting to come to the same conclusion.

Dear God (or Jehovah), Bob. Please don't tall me you're going to make this completely invalid comparison. No one with a modicum of intelligence should be making this comparison.

Jews weren't blowing people up, threatening jihad, demanding that the laws of the country be fitted to their needs, demanding more and more social services and generally being a pain in the ass to their hosts.

So please, check yourself.

jaydub (11/17/15, 7:13 AM) nailed it. France has spent a couple of decades trying to prove diplomacy is the only answer, that they are the worlds foremost diplomats, that the U.S. is too big for it's britches. France has repeatedly interfered with U.S. attempts to reign in states supporting terrorists (like Iran). The French (and Democratic party, and Obama's) view that the U.S. influence is too big and unhealthy has prevented dealing with the European "refugee crisis" before it became a crisis. That did not lead to the terrorist attacks in Paris directly, but I read an article this week indicating that ISIS/ISIL/whatever now considers France more important than the U.S. in executing the global "war on terror."

You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind.

And where are the articles about civilians killed in the French air strikes?

Actually federal law is part of this and the governors cannot do that.

It depends on what the governors are actually doing which may not be the same as what has been reported. A number of news headlines and press releases from State governors have said the equivalent of “our State will not accept Syrian refugees” which I agree is something that they really cannot control. But when I read the executive orders issued by the governors they usually says something along the lines of “we won’t expend State resources to bring them here, won’t offer them additional public services beyond the ones we’re already required by law to provide and to the extent possible, we’re going to monitor them while they’re here” which is something that they can do.

Thorley Winston म्हणाले...

There's actually a pretty easy solution: accept only Syrian Christians.

A large part of the reason why we’re seeing resistance to bringing in people claiming to be Syrian refugees is that we have no reliable way of determining if they are who they say they are and not actually a jihadist like the ones that attacked Paris last Friday. How would giving preference to people for self-identifying as Christian fix that problem?
