I don't really care for Gov Cuomo either. I am glad he is not our Governor in Nebraska. It only takes one of these REFUGEES that is a Jihadist to kill American CITIZENS. If your Governor wants to take a chance on a rogue refugee killing New York citizens that is his business. However what guarantee is there that one of these refugees might decide to leave New York and move to another state (Nebraska)?

Can't go hide in cellars. If we did that, you folks would give away every good thing we have here, to Criminal Illegal Aliens and Jihadists. Don't fear any foreigners. You ultra liberals are scary enough.


Maybe you need that "Celler" worse than any one else. Maybe you can move in a half dozen Syrian Jihadists.

It doesn't work.
Maybe if you weren't so taken to scare tactics you would actually look up the vetting process and realize it takes at minimum 2 years, involves the UN, who only accepts about 1 percent of the people who apply, who then refer them to agencies in the United States and other countries. Then, the FBI and department of Homeland Security perform background checks, run finger prints, and check countless other databases. Then there are medical screenings, cultural orientation classes, and people are matched up with agencies in the US if they are approved. Syrian refugees in particular have an additional round of screening on top of all of this. All before they reach American soil. Of the almost 750,000 refugees the US has taken in since 2000, only 3 have ever been arrested for plotting terrorism. 3.

So, from now on, how about instead of knee jerk blaming people and reading the latest from Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh, you actually consider real facts? And not something from a fear mongering website.

Yep, they can always hop on a Greyhound, no screening there

Were you an advocate for the homeless before this all happened or is it just a matter of convenience? Most people I see bring up the homeless to say we shouldn't take in refugees didn't really seem to care about them last week.

Where did you get your information on the vetting process? Only the people at the top layers of government are saying this. Officials at the vetting agencies say that they can not vet them, there is no background information available for this. So it comes down to this, ether listen to the people that have to do the nuts and bolts work of vetting or listen to the upper layers of government that all get their marching orders from the White house and will be good servants of the Oval office and just quote the latest memo.

Please don't tell me you have not heard the anti vetting comments for current and former high officials in the government. Those news stories have been all over the news channels, CNN, Fox and yes I heard it on MSNBC. It's very dangerous to get information from one source and the information that you are quoting is all coming from one source.

Any common sense sane person would understand the politics and agenda of this refugee crisis and the position of the president on it. President Obama stopped the refugees from Iraq from coming here but he is letting the Syrian refugees in. Can you guess what the difference is. It as plain has the hand in front of your face. O' you can't see it, look again!

BTW I have heard the Breitbart name but have no idea who that is. I have never liked Rush Limbaugh and I have not heard more then a few hours of his radio show in the last 10 years. I have connected the dots on my own and use my 4 years working for the US government as a reference on how the system works.

OK, so if you're going to make these claims, I'd like sources and quotes. You can't just say people have been saying this. And no, my information has not come from one source but the rather the UN, Politifact, the Guardian, and the US Government itself.

Its not going to make much difference if Cuomo wants it or don't, since Congress will be the one deciding what he can or can not do. As a last resort, Citizens need to urge them to remove funding for this Circus.

Say "NO" loudly.

Exactly (except for that NY part [Yes, if you want to pick taxpayers' pockets, NY is the place to go]).

People need to watch these videos. THIS is what your wanting to come live next to you. Do you actually want these folks in your Neighborhood? Do you want them looting your home if they feel they want what you have? Do you want your children out there among them? If one of your Kids insults them, what do you think they would do?


The Media and our President want you to believe they came from the land of "Pooh" and all are just unfortunate harmless Teddy Bears, but look at this video. You can't make that stuff up.


THIS IS WHAT YOUR GETTING!
