bigwave Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 In typical fashion, President Barack Obama’s federal government has threatened to penalize state and local governments refusing to accept Syrian refugees on the basis that terrorists may cross borders posing as emigrants. In a letter from the Office of Refugee Resettlement sent Wednesday, Director Robert Carey acknowledged these concerns but offered reassurance stating that all refugees are “subject to the highest level of security checks of any category of traveler to the United States,” through a “multi-layered and intensive screening and vetting process,” according to the Washington Examiner. Carey went on to say that Syrian refugees are subjected to even tighter provisions than most other refugees, but many have disagreed with this statement, saying it’s impossible to vet refugees from countries that do not keep accurate data on their citizens. “States may not deny ORR-funded benefits and services to refugees based on a refugee’s country of origin or religious affiliation,” said the letter. “States may not deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees” and those that do not comply are subject to “enforcement action, including suspension or termination.” The letter cites the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids federally funded programs from discriminating based on race or origin. Obama has already been looking to amend this legislation by including a ban on sexual orientation or gender identity, and it is no surprise that he’s looking to make states that oppose him pay in one way or another. We’ve seen this before — we have to look no further than Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which penalizes those who choose not to carry health insurance with a tax. http://conservativetribune.com/obama-threat-to-states-muslim/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new york kevin Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 What's Obama gonna do , fire all the states that don't comply to his Nazi tactics? Fire all the Governors who are advocating for the safety of all citizens within their states; including the Muslim men, women, and children? Mr Obama, simply share how detailed the vetting process of these "refugees"'is. If the Governors say x,y, & z can/should be done to make the vetting process more through to further minimize the possibility of a Islamic Terrorist Agent or Cells from entering the country, than POTUS should listen to them and incorporate their suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yota691 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 November 26, 2015, 02:26 pm Obama warns states they can’t refuse Syrian refugees By Bradford Richardson Getty Images The Obama administration is warning states that they cannot refuse to accept refugees fleeing war-torn Syria, saying that noncompliant states may be subject to penalties. The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) said in a letter to state agencies on Wednesday that they cannot withhold services to refugees based on their country of origin or religion. “Accordingly, states may not categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees,” the letter said. “Any state with such a policy would not be in compliance with the State Plan requirements, applicable statutes, and their own assurances, and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension and termination.” The letter cited the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination on the basis of race or country or origin. “Thus, it is not permissible to deny federally funded benefits such as Medicaid or TANF to refugees who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements." The House overwhelmingly passed a measure earlier this month to make it more difficult for Syrian refugees to enter the country, following the Nov. 13 terrorist attack in Paris in which at least one assailant is suspected of entering the country posed as a migrant. The ORR letter said refugees are subject to a rigorous screening process before they enter the country. “It is the most robust screening process for any category of individuals seeking admissions into the United States, and it is only after admission that ORR and our partners in resettlement begin our work,” the letter said. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) slammed the Obama administration as “hypocritical” over the letter. “While the United States has the most generous refugee system in the world, the American people are rightly concerned about admitting Syrian refugees and the impact it would have on the safety of their families and neighbors,” Goodlatte said in a statement. “It’s hypocritical for Obama Administration officials to threaten enforcement action against these states when they refuse to enforce the vast majority of our immigration laws, such as cracking down on sanctuary cities that openly defy federal law and endanger the American people,” he continued. Obama has vowed to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. over the next fiscal year. Read ORR letter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RV ME Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 The problem is, it really doesn’t matter if any Governors will allow the “refugees”. All Obummer needs to do is bring them into the country. Once here, they will be free to move anywhere they choose. Since some of these “refugees” have had the money to fly through several different countries to try to get to Mexico in order to sneak across the border, I doubt there will be a problem with them coming up with enough money to settle anywhere they so choose. Once the Trojan horse is brought in, we are screwed. To paraphrase Virgil, "I fear the Muslims, even bearing gifts." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the White House Grounds would be able to support a sizable Tent City of his Muslim brethren ! The White House itself could accommodate a healthy number as well ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
