BREAKING : Texas Formally Begins The Process of Withdrawing From Federal Refugee Program
Good for Texas!
Texas threatened to leave the program if Obama officials could not prove that refugees coming in from places like Syria were not a “threat.”
Advocates claim that request is “redundant” and impossible to prove.
So, we as Americans should just sit back and play Russian Roulette with our lives so that a bunch of “refugees” can resettle here?
No.
From Zero Hedge:
After taking in more refugees over the past 12 months than any other state in the U.S., Texas is threatening to exit the federal refugee program, effective 9/30/16, unless the Obama administration agrees to new security measures intended to protect Texas citizens. The demands by Texas Governor Greg Abbot come just days after the recent bombings in New York and New Jersey and in response to Obama’s recent announcement of plans to accept 110,000 refugees in 2017, up 57% since 2015
Abbott released the following comments on his website saying, among other things, that the “refugee settlement program is riddled with serious problems” and that the “federal government lacks the capability or the will to distinguish the dangerous from the harmless.” Abbott also took the opportunity to blast Obama for “ineptly proposing a dramatic increase in the number of refugees” in 2017 saying that the U.S. is incapable of fully screening immigrants from nations like Syria.
Texas is now taking steps to remove themselves from the federal refugee program.
Just in: Texas has formally begun withdrawing from the federal Refugee Resettlement Program. "We are moving forward," a spokesman tells me.
