Several state governors are challenging President Obama, saying they won’t allow their states to receive any more Syrian refugees in light of the recent attack in Paris by ISIS.
The decisions by state leaders come “amid reports that at least one of the Paris attackers slipped through Europe’s immigration system and concerns about ‘gaping holes’ impacting America’s screening process,” noted Fox News.
Alabama’s Gov. Robert Bentley said his state won’t take in any refugees at this time after he thought about the impact following the attacks in Paris, saying “[a]fter full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris … I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.”
“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,” Abbott wrote in his letter to 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.”
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal stated in a letter to Obama, “It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state’s knowledge or involvement. … As governor of Louisiana, I demand information.”

O'Bummer BTFO
That's awesome. I'm glad some people can put their foot down. Based Alabama.
If only Europe could be this based. However they will most likely just send them to some place else like Portland, Seattle or New York don't you think?

Arkansas and Michigan aren't accepting any as well
Even Massachusetts won't be accepting any. I honestly expect all of New England to go red this election. Obama just handed the presidency to Trump on a silver platter.
The tipping point has finally been reached I think, the masses are starting to vocally cons out against all of the recent SJW pandering. I live in Boston and my news feed is exploding with news articles with thousands of comments from locals praising the governor for putting our best interests first.
Mfw it's really happening!
Don't worry, California, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, New York will gladly take them

basically the Elite overstepped and showed their hand too soon
if they just played it cool a few more years they'd have no opposition or small enough opposition to persecute

Thank God. Fuck Obama, we need to look after ourselves. We can only hope ISIS captured and beheads one of his daughters, maybe then he'll cut the shit.
So..civil war then?
