JUST IN: Texas governor says his state won't accept Syrian refugees

AUSTIN -- Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered state health officials in charge of Texas' refugee resettlement program not to accept any more Syrians following the Paris terrorist attacks.

In a letter Monday to President Barack Obama, Abbott also urged scrapping federal plans to accept more Syrian refugees into the country as a whole. He said the federal government can't perform "proper security checks" on Syrians.

Texas joins Alabama, where Gov. Robert Bentley announced Sunday that he would refuse Syrian refugees relocating to his state.

Think this will stop them?? No. They will just come in disguised as refugees from somewhere else. This IS Obama's plan to change America.

So all refuges get painted with the same brush? Do you really think that will stop them from getting in?
Isis wins if we make paranoid policy based on fear. Figure out how to keep the good and weed out the bad.
