They are just puppets and don't realize it as usual. "Damn that Obummer is tryin to brang dem Terrurist to our country, good job Govna for standing up for the Americun people"

It is sad but the public increasingly votes for candidates not based on the issues but talking points. But then again, what do you expect when 3/4 of the population is not educated.
While they might be trying to score points, the two major reason they are [officially] refusing the refugees is that if something happens to or because of a refugee while residing in their state then the blame falls completely on the government rather than on the state, and, by [officially] refusing them the states don't have to use their own state money, or other resources, on or for the refugees. The government would have to fully pay not only for the upkeep of the refugees but also reimburse the state for any resources that are lost by the state because of the refugees. The governors in the states that don't [officially] refuse the refugees are basically saying it's fine with them that the taxpayers in their states are left holding the bag.

Look how great the federal govt did with a US citizen that did have records, histories, paper trails, data trails, etc.

we already have a small muslim community about 8 blocks away with a mosque, they will feel right at home. ugh !!!

of course NY will take them, why not, we take everyone else, and pay for everyone else.....

our dumb ass president says we shouldnt shut our door on them. first the moron needs to fix everything here, because we are a freaking mess, then worry about saving the world.

rant, rant, rant.

Did you know that the city that has sent more jihadists than the ENTIRE USA to ISIS including WHITE GUYS is Calgary, Alberta?
Make you a deal: You preclude any Calgary white guy from your state, and we'll stop every junior college student from the USA from entering Canada, as those are currently your biggest shooter problem right now.

We'll also accept back any radio-collared wolf since they're Canadian, but the cougars are all yours.
This is fast becoming beyond "Theatre of the Absurd". You have more meth heads in Idaho than the 10,000 number you're due to shoulder due to UN agreements already in place. Sweden and Canada are already on line to take four times that in the next few months. Chill.

As Marilyn Manson said in Bowling for Columbine: Keep them scared, and keep them consuming. You're being played.

That's what I heard on the news just this morning, that it can take months to years to screen the Syrian refugees, and these are ones from prior years, not the recent refugees.

People need to also care about the millions of Africans being murdered in a genocide, or is just these particular Syrian muslims?

The media does a good job of showing only images they want you to see and not other telling pictures.

I read a recent story where a few immigrants ( a taxi driver) will get free rent on an apartment valued at $3,000/month for 3 years due to a landlord violation.

Can't really blame them for refusing them. They could be members of ISIS in disguise.

Why is it a state is a hater state if they do not want refugees? Can you fathom that maybe someone disagrees with you but is not a hater.
