Texas plans to withdraw from refugee program, and
then what? by Ann
Corcoran, 9/21/16
Thanks to all
who sent this news. I saw it earlier. How many of you remember that
Kansas and New Jersey dropped out a few months ago? A handful of you? Did it
have any effect other than a little bureaucratic reshuffling.
Chairman of the
Homeland Security Committee Michael McCaul is from Texas, so what is he doing
in the House to protect his home state. Anything?
There was a
story the other day that NJ has gotten over 200 Syrian Muslims since Gov.
Christie withdrew NJ from the program. The slack is just being picked up
by a non-profit federal contractor. Those states effectively became
Wilson-Fish states. (Search Wilson-Fish here at RRW if you don’t know what that
is.)
Now don’t get
me wrong, there is an impact if the Governor goes through with it. But, unless
he then follows up with a 10th Amendment lawsuit like Tennessee is planning to
do (who knows when?), getting out will only temporarily slow the flow to Texas.
Sorry to sound
so cynical, but I am today! I was optimistic this morning, but all that changed
when I saw the
useless language (page
8) the Republicans
are now proposing for the Continuing Budget Resolution.
I am so
disgusted at most
of the spineless Republicans in Congress who have no courage to begin to roll back the program that is frankly
dangerous to our communities and economically UNSUSTAINABLE!
And, they are
dumb besides, because once the immigrant (Muslim) population reaches a certain
level they will vote the Republicans out of office!
Fox is one of many outlets talking about
Texas withdrawing: The state of Texas on Wednesday announced that
it is withdrawing from the Obama administration’s refugee resettlement program
due to the administration’s inability to ensure that refugees resettled in the
state do not pose terror threats, according to an announcement by Republican
Gov. Greg Abbott.
Texas informed
the Office of Refugee Resettlement in a letter that it will be withdrawing from
the program on Jan. 31, 2017. The letter comes on the heels of several weekend
terror attacks across the United States
The
administration has refused to approve a security plan by the state of Texas
aimed at ensuring that refugees are only resettled following in-depth security
checks.
Texas officials
drafted a plan that would require federal national security officials to
provide assurances that none of the individuals being resettled pose a terror
threat. The administration has declined to approve this plan.
And, come to think of it, how did Texas become
the number one resettlement state in the nation? Because certain Republicans have been
running that state forever and they have been derelict in protecting their
citizens. (Remember this name—Bush?)

All State legislatures need to ban Sharia law in their
States to send a message to these refugees that we will not go the way of Europe
and surrender our sovereignty.
