| Want 'em or Not, 21 Syrian Refugees to Arrive in Texas |
| 2015-12-08 |
| [ABCNEWS.GO] Syrian refugees are scheduled to arrive in Texas on Monday after the state eased up in its legal fight against resettlement agencies and the federal government. Twelve Syrians, including six children, are expected to arrive in Dallas and Houston on Monday, joining relatives already settled in Texas. Another nine refugees are scheduled to arrive in Houston Thursday. State officials fought for weeks to stop them, saying Syrian refugees posed an unacceptable security risk after the deadly Nov. 13 Gay Paree attacks. But two days after suing one resettlement agency, the International Rescue Committee, and federal officials, the state on Friday withdrew its request for an order immediately stopping the refugees from entering Texas. The lawsuit remains pending, and a judge could hear arguments in the case this week. Texas took in nearly 250 Syrians before the Gay Paree attacks. Federal officials said in court filings that they plan to resettle as many as 250 Syrians in Texas during the current fiscal year. |

| #1 Disburse them among the overall population in general communities of less than 20,000. Don't allow the development of ghettos/'towns' in the big cities. |
