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...

We have to accept the fact that we are idiots and we need these people to make decisions for us.  Walking into those taxpayer paid for epic buildings They go thru a transformation and declare themselves geniuses.  Here in Nevada we have Dr. Harry Reed.....my God... what would we do without him?  The world would be digressing into a shit hole.  I have to wonder when the populous mass will wake up.  To hell with the queen....God save us.

That's just over the top; certainly 50% of Texans wouldn't mind accepting the unattached females, aged 16 to 36... send the remainder to Destroit and build a fence around the place.

 The migrants will simply buy passports from another Country or lie about where they are from. Wise up to reality Governors. Syria is not the only Country in the middle east.

That's why none of them should be allowed into any Western country.  Let their fellow Muslims take them in countries like the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and SA.

It's intersting that Canada already accepted about 20,000 refugees displaced by ISIL over the past couple years.   The difference?  The majority of those refugees were Christians, not Muslims.  How many Christians from the middle east are suicide bombers? 

Now the new Prime Minister, as of a week ago, is trying to bring in 25,000 refugees before this Christmas !!!   What a moron,  They expect to be able to security and background screen that many people?    Good Luck.   There's NO QUESTION that there will be terrorists among them.  

But will he step up and take responsibility?   Of course not, he's a "progressive".

The NWO globalists should never have been allowed to import vast numbers of Muslims into  the West as part of their program to destroy White Christian (in the loosest meaning of that word) civilization. That's the first thing. The absolute minimum we can do now is stop importing any more

This article published in the Houston Chronicle this afternoon entitled "Experts say Abbott can't stop Syrian refugees"

"Federal immigration officials in Washington, and legal experts and refugee-support organizations in Texas questioned whether Abbott can enforce his directive. Federal officials could simply resettle Syrian refugees in Texas through local social-services agencies, and there will be little the state could do to stop it".

From the Houston Chronicle article:

 

"America's refugee screening process is unique and the most rigorous and comprehensive in the world," he said. "Governor Greg Abbott should know that."

Apparently Gregg Abbott has heard of the Tsarnaev brothers. They came into the country as juvenile refugees.

The White House lawn is nicely mowed and big.  Put tents there and let Obama personally greet and meet his party's future voters.

Only a true leader would sacrifice HIS comfort to set an example for the morality of what he is doing. It's the exact definition of the word "LEADER".

No excuses allowed. Only action. But what do we see?

This is also a great read. Everyone here should read it. I know that many of you here are forbidden to read it -- but take note anyways becasue the Western world has access to it. It's now an International best seller.

Lets also understand this. Vladimir Putins rank and job title at the FSB was Major / Disinformation Officer. Think long and hard about that...

Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism

The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is at it again. 

Disinformation authoritatively provides the missing dimension that makes the chaos of the modern world finally understandable.

How Christianity and Judaism have been targeted for constant denigration and defamation through an ongoing campaign of disinformation. How the Soviet bloc planted 4,000 agents of influence in the Islamic world, armed with hundreds of thousands of copies of the most infamous anti-Semitic book in history, to fan the flames of ancient Arab resentments against the U.S. and Israel and sow the seeds of anti-Semitism that would later bloom in the form of violence and terror toward Jews and Christians.

“The NWO globalists… [aim] to destroy White Christian… civilization.”

No, they plan to re-establish it.

Little known to current Americans (and everyone else) is that a large majority of American Founders were atheists or hostile toward religion.  There is numerous evidence of this.  For example, on the date 1787 June 26, affairs in the Constitutional Convention had bogged down so bad that Ben Franklin (the semi-atheist) suggested that the Convention invite a pastor to begin each day with a prayer.

History books routinely tell us this; but they fail to tell you that the measure was defeated (check Madison’s notes for that date).  If we check Franklin’s notes, he tells us that not more than 3 or 4 members were in favor of it.  There were, on that day, some 26-28 members on the floor: fully an 80% rejection rate.

Then there is Article 6 of the Constitution, which declares that there shall be no religious test for public office.

This non-test was a monumental event in the history of man.  In previous ages and in all lands, all organized societies required religious tests for public office – pagan or Christian.  At the beginning of the Revolution, half the states required religious tests; upon ratification of the Constitution, none of them required such tests.

Never before, in the history of man has a society made such a stunning reversal of policy.

And, it has all gone to waste, as modern Americans are so eager to re-establish the rule by terror that gave us the Dark Age and Crusades, famines and witch hunts, intolerance and plagues.

Unfortunately, this is just political posturing {governors wanting re-elected}. The Federal gubmint does whatever it wants, states be damned. There are no states rights anymore. Hasn't been for many decades. The Feds will likely DOUBLE THE QUOTAS now for these "rebel" states as a retaliatory response.

I hope the states stand up and say "No way!". Tell Washington to keep all their "refugees" right there in the Capitol...put 'em up in the White House guestrooms, whatever.

THEN what would the feds do? Try to force states to take them? Send in the troops? Yeah, right, fuck you...

We need a revolution, time to overthrow the Washington parasites and reclaim this country. Washington elites should be treated like the traitors they are. Round 'em up and throw them into their own FEMA camps.

Oh GREAT!  St Cloud Minnesota, is on that list.  Just what we needed here.  You don't think of Minnesota as being full of muslims but it is.  The official count in St Cloud alone is 18000 and some speculate it is twice that number.  Their numbers grow constantly.  Are you telling that they have not found some guns by now?  Many are service age males.  Hmm.
