At least ten Republican governors are moving to block Syrian refugees from entering their states after Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris that killed at least 130 people and wounded hundreds more.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Monday joined Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in refusing to accept refugees from Syria.

Thanks, myst!  Just saw it on Fox.   Good news for us!

In North Carolina, Gov McCrory asks no more Syrian refugees be sent to NC — Citing the terrorist attacks in Paris, Gov. Pat McCrory has asked the U.S. federal government not to send any more Syrian refugees to North Carolina until the background screening process improves. Fifty-nine refugees are already in the state.

During a press conference, Gov McCrory stated that 59 Syrian refugees have already settled in NC; but he does not know who they are or where they have been placed.  His office is currently attempting to gather the info.  At least he admits he has no clue.

I don't like the caveat about "until the screening process improves."  I know that is what they are all saying...but Obama is in charge of the screening process and he will simply lie and say it is improved without anything really being done.  These people do NOT need to leave the Middle East.  There are plenty of places in the Middle East for them to go, there is no need for them to come here.  We simply should not allow these refugees to come here period.

================================================

I'm surprised this many (ten) governors are refusing to give up their states to islam.

Threats of removing Federal road funding for them surely will follow.

As the list of governors refusing refugee relocation grows, it calls to mind the year 1861, with the southern states seceding, one-by-one.

Could another separation ultimately be coming?

=========================================

They will all cave in once 'O' threatens to withhold Federal money.  Any bets?

I've pointed this out before; the progressive left has seceded.  They do not operate under the limits and bounds that define this union.  The Constitutional-honoring states are merely asserting their rights under the Constitution.

Federal grant money is heroin to states, cities, localities, non-profits, law enforcement, etc...etc...etc.  They can't resist it.
