Michigan Gov. Snyder: No more Syrian refugees in Michigan
2015-11-16
[Detroit Free Press] LANSING -- Gov. Rick Snyder's decision to suspend efforts to bring Syrian refugees to Michigan in light of the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday has sparked controversy and launched the state into the national debate of how to protect U.S. citizens while providing a haven for those who desperately need help.

Snyder's office released a statement Sunday saying the state would not be accepting any Syrian refugees until the U.S. Department of Homeland Security fully reviewed its procedures.

"Michigan is a welcoming state and we are proud of our rich history of immigration," Snyder said in the statement. "But our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents."

#6  CNN AM = repors that a large number of US States are refusing to accept any Syrian or Muslim Refugees in the aftermath of 11/13 = Paris/Bataclan attacks.

A handful of US States are also repor by CNN as refusing to accept any Syrians or Muslim Refugees unless their backgrounds have been thoroughly vetted, or in alternate will accept only [vetted?]SYRIAN OR ME CHRISTIANS.

#5  Our states are open borders, so unless all 50 or 57 states agree, once in they can travel freely and dangerously.

#1  Pardon my bluntness but what do we have to gain by a huge influx of Islamic refugees?

Based on the European experience, we get populations who don't share any of our cultural or educational values, who end up on the dole. Seems much more cost effective to provide aid and refuge in their own countries, even if it means sending in the 4th Infantry Division and the Red Cross.
