31 US state Gov. decline accepting Syrian refugees into their states

More than half of US governors say they oppose letting Syrian refugees into their states, although the final say on this contentious immigration issue will fall to the federal government. States protesting the admission of refugees range from Alabama and Georgia, to Texas and Arizona, to Michigan and Illinois, to Maine and New Hampshire.

The announcements came after authorities revealed that at least one of the suspects believed to be involved in the Paris terrorist attacks entered Europe among the current wave of Syrian refugees. He had falsely identified himself as a Syrian named Ahmad al Muhammad and was allowed to enter Greece in early October.
Some leaders say they either oppose taking in any Syrian refugees being relocated as part of a national program or asked that they be particularly scrutinized as potential security threats.
Only 1,500 Syrian refugees have been accepted into the United States since 2011, but the Obama administration announced in September that 10,000 Syrians will be allowed entry next year.

  1. Phew! See what ISIS has caused, to some extent I don't blame the governors, after learning one of the masterminds of the Paris attack came into France as a Syrian refugee.

  3. I don't blame them one bit! If tables were turned they wouldn't accept the Americans either. I think it would be stupid to take them in after what happened. Why are the thriving muslim countries silent? What is Saudi Arabia doing, why cant they help their brothers???

  11. Who would blame them for refusing. Relocating them to secured area is the best move towards preventing possible attack on Us citizens.

  15. No wonder Americans hate obama. 10 000 Syrian refugees? With the way these people breed? Just give up your country to Muslims while you are at it.

  16. Even with the heightened scrutinization, once they are allowed into the country, those of them that are there to carry out terrorism will still fine a way to do it.

  20. I do not blame them cus even the so called rich Islamic countries are bringing in refugees. Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar are all very rich Islamic countries but they've not brought in any Muslim Syrian refugees. Even the Muslims are not doing enuff.

  21. I would not blame anyone who rejects refugees in the face of what happened in France. It is a two edged sword situation!

  22. They better not allow them in. They should remember ISIS numerous threat and possible attacks on US soil. American should better get on the street to protest, impeach Obama if needed. #NoHatingPotus #SafetyFirst

  24. And do you blame them? You will let them in only for them to turn around and bite you real hard on the bum. With the way things are going these days, i wouldn't risk it if were a governor.
