Texas, Five Other States Refuse To Accept Syrian Refugees

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Texas governor Greg Abbott does some funny things from time to time. 

Back in the summer, when Washington and The Pentagon were set to roll out a covert plan to re-annex the Lone Star State by, i) placing US spec ops among civilians, ii) declaring martial law, and iii) confiscating everyone’s guns, Abbott probably saved Texas from having to be a part of the United States by calling up the state guard to monitor the “exercises.” 

“To address concerns that Texas citizens and to ensure that Texas communities remain safe, secure, and informed about military procedures occurring in their vicinity, I am directing the state guard to monitor Operation Jade Helm 15.”

Phew. That was close. 

Well, having successfully backed down the Green Berets and Navy SEALs, Abbott is prepared to take on a new adversary: ISIS. Or actually, Syrian refugees. Who are all ISIS members. Just look at Paris. You saw the passport. 

On Monday, Abbott penned a letter to The President informing him that in light of what happened in France on Friday evening, Texas would not be participating in any program that resettles Syrian refugees in his state. 

This is from the state’s official website:

Governor Greg Abbott today sent a letter to President Barack Obama informing him that the State of Texas will not accept any refugees from Syria in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in Paris. Furthermore, Governor Abbott implored President Obama to halt his plans to accept more Syrian refugees in the United States entirely, as the federal government does not have the background information necessary to effectively conduct proper security checks on Syrian nationals.

 

"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 in the letter. "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."

 

"Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity," Governor Abbott continued. "As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril."

That’s right. No need to put Americans in any more "peril" than they're already in by say, attending class at a community college, going to Sunday school, or going to a movie. 

To be fair to Abbott, Texas isn't the only state to refuse Syrian migrants. Abbott joins his counterparts in Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, and Michigain is declining to participate. Here's The Hill

Six Republican governors have announced that Syrian refugees won't be allowed to resettle in their states in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks in Paris.

 

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley issued statements Sunday saying that they wanted to prioritize the safety of the residents in their states. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott; Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a GOP presidential candidate; Arkansas Gov. Gov. Asa Hutchinson; and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence joined them on Monday.

 

"Michigan is a welcoming state and we are proud of our rich history of immigration," Snyder said, according to the Detroit Free Press. "But our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents."

 

“The acts of terror committed over the weekend are a tragic reminder to the world that evil exists and takes the form of terrorists who seek to destroy the basic freedoms we will always fight to preserve," Bentley said in his statement.

 

"I will not place Alabamians at even the slightest, possible risk of an attack on our people," he added.

 

"The Louisiana State Police, upon receiving information of a Syrian refugee already relocated within the State of Louisiana, are authorized and directed to utilize all lawful means to monitor and avert threats within the State of Louisiana," he added.

 

"As Governor I will oppose Syrian refugees being relocated to Arkansas," Hutchinson tweeted.

 

"Indiana has a long tradition of opening our arms and homes to refugees from around the world but, as governor, my first responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of all Hoosiers," Pence wrote in a statement. "Unless and until the state of Indiana receives assurances that proper security measures are in place, this policy will remain in full force and effect.”

As a reminder here's the map of the 2015 "Reception and Placement Program":

Of course let's be honest Mr. Abbott, it's not like no one is watching The Loan Star State's back...

Name one time in history where while combating a country, the country that won accepted Millions of " refugees " from the country it was at war with while still in the middle of the war.

 

If MILLIONS of Germans in WWII migrated to Great Briton they would have been shot in the water or at the very least put into internment camps.

 

In WWII America put Millions of Japanese Americans into internment camps IT WORKED domestic terrorism was contained , I am not saying we should round people up, but at the very least refugees should spend a year inside an internment camp and put to work or given the option to leave and go back from wherever they came.

Make it clear, IF YOU ARE COMING HERE, YOU ARE GOING TO WORK NO FREE LUNCH, have them mine for gold or do something useful.

muslims/north african refugees are low iq, can never be trained and cant live in a first world society.....just like the blacks that populate the welfare ghettos for generations.

these north africans will never become productive citizens...

Are you saying we are at war with Syria, really, and when did Congress pass that war resolution? 

 

And why are we at war with Syria? 

 

Last I checked we were attempting to "FREE" the Syrians of their democratically elected leader...

 

And before you dare criticize Syria's elections, you should deal with your own joke of a "Democratic system here in America, you don't get elected, you buy elections here.

See, that's the problem with Assad loyalists, you / they think the only Syrian citizens are the one that support Assad. The rest are some version of a terrorist. You think the ENTIRE world doesn't see that?

Assad will not come out of this in one piece. Then watch how the luke warm Russians try and make Syria theirs. But of course that won't work either and Putin will creep back to Moscow and declare war on the North and South pole...

What is it going to take? WTF are we waiting for, America? Some people on this page are actually criticizing Texas, but you know what, united we stand, divided we fall. It says it all in our countries name, *United States*. The people on here whining about Texas probably wont care until it is in their back yard, and then they will be all like' OMG, we *never* saw this coming. No matter where you live in the US, Texas *is* in your backyard; they are our countrymen, our neighbors, our brothers and sisters. Constantly complaining and being at each others throats is *what they want*! Over two hundred years ago a lot of different people made a lot of sacrifices because of some pretty noble ideas they had, and now, we are going to honor those sacrifices by letting some inept mulatto fairy run it all into the ground in less than eight years?

In practice you may be correct but in historical theory, the States gave authorization for the federal government. Feds get their power, if any, from States, which I expect you already know. Only when States re-raise their own militias and kick out the perps in D.C. will we have a truly free America again. As is, its Amerika.

Hey Duc888, How about NOT bombing Syria and bring all of our military assets home so we don't have to take in those stink ass muslims? What about that plan? When I mean "stink ass" I mean STINK ASS! In 1998 i went to Pakistan to work for 12 weeks with a manufacturing firm. My company sent me there. It was the worst 12 weeks of my life. The people (mostly men) smelled like a cross between old, crusty socks and 10 day old green bean salad. The body odor was disgusting. I think their stink is the terrorism.

The real players are hidden in the shadows and wings. Its not America bombing Syria, and ISIS is not an organic rebellion. Its a war machine designed to tear apart a country for the express purposes of A) exterminating populations B) oil pipelines/profits C) export extremely discontented savages to places where they are within stricking distance of their next sponsored terror event. Who the hidden players are starts with the truth of who murdered JFK, RFK, MLK, 9/11.

The answer is:  The Republic of Texas Army defeated the Mexican Army (Santa Anna) and from then on millions of Mexicans came to Texas - which is OK with me btw.  But Syrians - ugh not so much.  Yeah, and I'm for getting all military installments out of Texas.  Texas has the 9th largest economy in the whole frickin world.  Tell DC to kiss our as....

You are seriously arm-chair-quarterbacking the desire to not bring middle eastern refugees, transplants, what-ever, into one's home state? Just how far up your ass IS your head? France's problems are COMPLETELY related to how many they have allowed in to the country. The same is true for most other european countries that are now having "problems" with their islamic communities. The problem is that they do not assimilate - they move in and then try to re-create the same hell-hole they crawled out of.

 

You just wish that your governor had balls.

Perhaps you're right. It's amazing to watch Putin get played by the Chinese.

Not just that, but look at the Iranians game Putin and Russia. The entire fucking Russian government pivots on oil sales. Russia teams up with Iran, then the nuclear sanctions come down and Iran (Russias BFF) dumps ~50 MILLION barrels of oil on the market and oil shits itself -- as does the Russian economy. Moscow we have a problem...

Maybe you're right about the Asian century. Ont thing for ABSOLUTE DAMNED SURE is it won't be the Russian century. Well, if Putin was gone, they'd have a chance but NO way as it stands.

I don't quite get it - last I knew you didn't need a passport to cross over into Texas (from within the US). Once you are in the US what exactly are you required to do ? Does a refugee need to update immigration about their whereabouts ? Are working permits state specific ? If any one state where to admit immigrants/refugees and issue them sufficient paperwork - aren't they set ?

I have the same questions.   And the realist in me knows even if they put policies in place they will probably not enforce them.  To my way of thinking it's like, if the federal government won't even protect us from illegals coming in why would I trust them to protect us from terrorists they bring in purposely?  And why would I trust them to prosecute a war effort overseas when they are inciting violence at home?

Refugees get set up with housing and Medicaid and other bennies. Those are usually state-specific and of (supposedly) limited duration. If a refugee gets a job while housed by the public or an NGO, the job will almost always be within commuting distance. The refugee would need some time to get up onto his own two feet to be able to relocate unless sponsored.

"They also support mixed marriage, as in humans marrying dogs, cats, horses etc. It might surprise you to know that marriage with animals is currently not recognised as being legal in the Dutch courts, but this could change if the Partij voor de Dieren win enough votes.

The American public suffers from the lies of propaganda, gullibility, willful ignorance, hubris, arrogance, fear and a bad case of collective PTSD. The nation has not learned a thing in the past 14 years of fighting 'terrorism'. The nation has never applied the rule of law to its self, allowing torturers, war criminals and bank fraud criminals a free pass. During the past 14 years the ruling elite have learned how to rule by using fear and looting the nations treasury. Our war machine has lost the war, every US drone attack, every US Air Force bombing of the enemy, every killing by our ground forces has caused the enemy to grow and now the Daesh/Nihilists can legitimately threaten our capital with A-symmetric war. We have won NOTHING! It is time we snap out of our nationalist delusions and get our shit together. I just got started and have to stop here.... the facts are too depressing.
