Texas Governor Refuses Syrian Refugees
Texas Governor Greg Abbott says Texas will not allow Syrian refugees to be relocated into Texas in the wake of the Paris terrorist attack. He also called upon President Barack Obama to halt the importation of any additional Syrian refugees into the U.S.
“Given the tragic attacks in Paris and the threats we have already seen, Texas cannot participate in any program that will result in Syrian refugees – any one of whom could be connected to terrorism – being resettled in Texas,” Governor Abbott said a letter to President Obama. “Effective today, I am directing the Texas Health & Human Services Commission’s Refugee Resettlement Program to not participate in the resettlement of any Syrian refugees in the State of Texas. And I urge you, as President, to halt your plans to allow Syrians to be resettled anywhere in the United States.”
The Texas governor joins other state’s governors in taking action to stop the importation of potential terrorists. At least one of the Paris terrorists was a Syrian refugee who had recently entered Europe. SOURCE
Several states are telling Obama NO, actually, not just NO but HELL NO.
No is a word that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT like to hear, no matter the topic, but when it comes to his friends, the Muslims, Syrians or any other batch of towel wearing sheet-heads, NO sends him over the edge and I’m pretty sure his lower lip is pooched out right about now.
Obama hasn’t got a friend to his name on the RIGHT side of the aisle and it appears that a fair number of folks on the LEFT are starting to see him for what he is too. But there will always be that HARD CORE Obama supporter and groups of them.
This is from those Loony Libtards at Think Progress; No, State Governors Can’t Refuse To Accept Syrian Refugees. Of course you have to realize, the people at Think Progress are the very people that have never met an American enemy that they didn’t like, embrace and support.
And as if the United States doesn’t already look like the most incompetent bunch of *hicks* in the history of the world, we have this; Barack Obama LATE for *moment of silence* honoring Paris victims.
That is the most irresponsible and embarrassing action, public action, a world leader could possibly pull. The world already believes Obama to be unable to lead a free nation, he is widely seen as a buffoon, not worthy of consideration.
I have an old friend that still maintains a few contacts in Russia. He was just talking to one of those contacts and he asked him, “What is the feeling in Russia regarding Obama?”
The friend replied, and these are HIS words, “Obama is a coward, he can’t do anything right, he is weak, he is an effeminate pervert, he is useless and he is a pu**y…” I think most will understand the meaning and its intent.
ISIS, or, as Obama and Company prefer to call them, ISIL, is not the only enemy this nation faces and stopping the importation of a new batch of Syrian refugees would be a wonderful start at stopping us from having even more enemies on our soil.
I am not trying to incite violence or civil insurrection but when one group of people declares WAR on another group of people, aren’t those people being attacked entitled to take up arms and defend themselves, their families, homes and nation?
What do you believe the response from Obama will be when, not IF, but when the Syrians, or their allies set of several bombs and launch armed attacks on American such as what was recently witnessed in Paris?
Will it be called an act of war? Will it be called an act of terrorism? Will the federal government loose the dogs of war on the attackers and their support network or will lack of jobs and climate change be blamed once again?
We didn’t start this WAR but we are right in the middle of it and we have the most ineffectual national leadership imaginable, when do the grownups take over and accept responsibility for the future of the nation?
When do we stand as one and take our nation back from those that only seek to destroy her and DAMN the consequences of world opinion and Liberal *butt hurt*?
It is long overdue America and the American Patriot is ready!
Barring America standing and fighting, and sometimes I truly wonder if the people will, I believe Texas needs to secede, the new President of the Republic needs to commission every Conservative, God fearing Christian and loyal rednecks as members of the Texas Guard and then give them the authority to clean Texas out; of ALL Muslims, illegals and of course the flaming libbers.
It would be a happy place for me then. 🙂
I stand behind our Governor, and all the other Governors, who are saying NO to allowing Muslim refugees. What happened in France was terrible, and should be a lesson to the whole world. If the Muslim refugees need somewhere to go, the other Muslim countries should take them in.
When other Muslim nations won’t take them in…. Well, there’s the WHOLE story…
Hey, if the terrorists are “contained”, shouldn’t it be safe for the “refugees” to return to their homeland?
Well yeah, it should… I mean, Obama SAID that ISIS was contained and we all know what a tactical genius and incredible leader HE is…
Damn, that was hard to type… 🙁
Did your fingers spasm and fall off after you typed that Fred? Every time the freak in the White House comes on TV, I use my remote so I don’t have to listen to the pandering boob.
That jerk we have in Missouri, Nixon, says he will allow the terrorists in Missouri and will depend upon the Feds to put in place the strongest safeguards to protect the state and nation.
Since the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Paris was in probably the highest state of security of any city in the world. It didn’t help them one bit. What happened took every intelligence gathering agency in the world completely by surprise. Gov Nixon is in his last term due to term limits. It’s said he has aspirations for the US Senate but now only the liberal hellholes of St. Louis and Kansas City may elect him dog catcher.
If Obama overrides the will of a majority of state governors, their legislatures, and people to bring in these “refugees”, does that mean we no longer have a Republic but instead an actual Dictatorship?
I am pleasantly surprised that my Governor, Chris Christie of NJ, is saying no to Syrian refugees, even to those under five years old. After all he did appoint a muslim to NJ’s state supreme court; a political payback. But the man who swapped spit with Obama on a NJ beach got this one right.
I am so glad to be out of N.J.. The last time I was in Patterson (10 yrs. ago), I couldn’t believe I was still in a U.S. city. As I hear it, Jersey City,once a solid Polish community, has been taken over by the muzzies. I hope you get the chance to move before TSHTF. My brother is tied to his job and can’t retire yet but he is not comfortable living in Little Falls anymore. I wish you the best Peter.
Amen to that Wayne. Even the Filipinos and Indians are being pushed out of Jersey City. Do you remember when JC was designated as a Model Cities project where hundreds of millions of dollars were poured into a black hole (no pun intended) back in the 60’s by President Johnson’s Great Society bullshit? Well downtown and the waterfront is now a thriving financial and commercial district thanks to PRIVATE MONEY and PRIVATE INVESTMENT while the rest of the city remains a shit hole . I grew up in Hudson County during the 50’s and 60’s, a place gone forever. As for Paterson, once an American city, we should build a wall around it and send all the Syrian refugees there. They will hop on the first plane back to Syria; problem solved,
“President Johnson’s Great Society bullshit?”…. I remember, and see the end result everyday. I would be laughing hard at that one if it wasn’t so true and sad. I hope Lyndon is enjoying his long stay in H-E-double toothpicks.
It is truly a sad state of affairs. islam has the progressives on their side because they have the same goal in mind. Collapse the USA and get rid of that awful document that prevents them for doing what is right for the collective. Glen Beck had a chalkboard discussion about this very scenario a while back and I PO PO’ed it as a bizarre conspiracy theory. It looks like he may have been right on this. Dark times lie ahead. I agree Fred, it’s not a question of if it happens but when. A terrorist strike may be the excuse that the HNIC needs to fundamentally change America forever. Garland is a good example of what the followers of the pedophile are capable of if they feel besmirched. Than GOD that the only casualties were muslim scumbags.
No disrespect to y’all’s officials but…I guess time will tell.
I read the TX gov. just sent a letter to Obama asking him to please change his mind. I remember when Ross Barnett of MS did the same directed to JFK years ago. There is/was a recording of JFK responding to Barnett on the internet years ago. It was like now, now governor…this is the way it is. And it was and has been. First “knock out game.”
Even some of the media are getting fed up apparently. After all, most live in D.C. and NYC. Maybe its starting to get to them that they may be in the bull’s eye.
Maybe i’m being too cynical Bunk but I sure hope so. The crocodile may be closer to their ass than they think.
I keep thinking that the biggest fish barrels in the US are in Californication. They are called Sanctuary Cities. They certainly won’t go for cities where the citizens are armed to the teeth… jus sayin.
Then consider this; Dallas is in Texas but it is overwhelmingly populated by Liberals and is a sanctuary city for illegals, there are not as many well-armed Texans in Dallas as you might assume..
But then you look at the Dallas suburbs and that is a totally different issue… 🙂
Once the media tires of living in hotels and the French cuisine Paris will be old news. It makes one long for the monotony of the Clinton e-mail scandal. If we could truly believe some good (for lack of a better word) is forthcoming from this tradegy it would be easier to stomach listening to and watching the 24 hour news cycle featuring liberals in the media trying not to choke while tip toeing around the traitorous behavior of their prophet and savior in the White House. The only winners in this mess will be Russia and Iraq; and the Syrian refugees who are on the road to achieving protected class status here in the US of A. In spite of Ryan and his fellow lemmings lukewarm pretend opposition to Obama’s plans the Syrians are coming to a neighborhood near you.
