Refugees by Force

Obama Sends Blackmail Threat to Every State… Give This Group Food Stamps Or Pay The Price!

(Conservative Tribune) – Tis the season to be jolly? Not if President Barack Obama and the Department of Agriculture have their way.

In a letter from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the state of Georgia’s social service agency, Obama gave an ultimatum: issue food stamps to Syrian refugees or face dire consequences for disobeying federal laws.

According to Breitbart, Jessica Shahin, associate administrator of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at the USDA, dictated in the letter that if an applicant follows the proper procedure in applying for the welfare benefit, the state must issue the food stamps.

“As long as an applicant submits a SNAP application that includes the applicant’s name, address, and signature, the state agency must accept and process the application to be in compliance with federal law,” Shahin wrote. “As you are aware, State agencies administering SNAP must comply with all Civil Rights requirements and laws.”

In addition to further stating (threatening) that a refusal to issue food stamps to qualified individuals would constitute a federal offense, Shahin also named which refugees could not be denied.

“Refusing to accept applications based on a household’s national origin is in violation of these vital requirements. FNS would like to clarify that all refugees, including Syrian refugees, are considered qualified aliens and are able to receive SNAP,” she wrote.

The letter from the USDA comes on the heels of Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal’s Nov. 16 executive order that put the brakes on Obama’s Syrian refugee resettlement program in the state. Deal instructed all state agencies to “halt any involvement in resettling Syrian refugees.”

Deal has not yet responded to the federal demands. Georgia has joined 27 other states in opposition to Obama’s plan for Syrian refugees. Polls also indicate that 54 percent of Americans are against accepting the refugees. Fifty-two percent were not confident that the Obama administration’s screening procedures adequately vet the refugees credibility.

As these numbers clearly indicate, the majority of America agrees with Gov. Deal and does not trust that the president of the United States can protect them — or that he even wants to. How did America get to this place of insecurity and mistrust where the president strong-arms his people into compliance?

Americans should tip their hats to Gov. Deal for the strong stance he has taken. Clearly, it is that kind of gutsy action that will win the fight in securing America’s interest at home and abroad.
