Governor should welcome Syrian refugees

“A spokeswoman in the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the resettlement office, said 49 states and the District of Columbia have refugee resettlement programs”, according to the AP.

“States may not deny ORR-funded benefits and services to refugees based on a refugee’s country of origin or religious affiliation”, the letter states.

The notification came in a letter dated Wednesday from the director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (OPR) to state resettlement agencies.

Mayorkas also said that the case of the Paris attacker who entered France as a refugee is very different from the USA refuge application process that takes 18-24 months.

Last week, Abbott informed President Barack Obama that his policy of resettling Syrian refugees following the Paris terrorist attacks was risky and unwise and that Texas would not be accepting Syrians for resettlement.

Obama stood by a plan that the White House announced in September to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States within a year.

“Nobody believes that 4 million Syrians two years ago before the disruptions started had lined up and said, ‘We want to start the 2-year vetting process”, Blunt said.

“The governor really should be commended for the stellar job that his department has done with refugee resettlement”, Terry said. As a nation, the United States is able to welcome desperate, vulnerable families while at the same time ensuring our own security.

“Indeed, applicants for refugee admission are screened more carefully than any other type of traveler to the United States”, the letter said.

If a terrorist wanted to get into the USA, they would find a way, and probably the easiest way.

“If the president does move forward on his plans to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees, he would be doing so without the American public’s support”, the survey reads. “As we are being asked to shoulder some of this burden, regional partners like Saudi Arabia need go step in and do more”.

The lawsuit said 19 Syrians have been approved for refugee status by the federal government and they are expected to arrive in IN in the next few weeks.

But Obama has insisted the United States will remain a welcoming place for refugees from around the world.

“The bill requires the nation’s top security officials – the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Director of National Intelligence – to certify before admitting any Syrian or Iraqi refugee into the United States that the individual does not represent a security threat”, McCaul said. Almost 50 Democrats voted for the House bill, but, by far, the most outspoken objectors are Republicans, particularly the presidential candidates, who recognize that they are well-served by almost any measure that makes Obama look bad or that encourages a sense of crisis and fear. On Oct. 12 The Washington Post reported that in the first 274 days of this year, the United States had 294 mass shootings. We should not accept any Syrian refugees in IN or across the country unless the USA government can guarantee, with 100 percent assurance, that they are not members, supporters or sympathizers of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
