November 20, 201510 yr What a truly wonderful response: http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/19/1452062/-Oh-my-George-Takei-s-perfect-response-to-a-Virginia-mayor-s-statement-on-refugees?detail=facebook
November 20, 201510 yr Active Members Apples and oranges. These Syrian refugees don't "look" like our enemies, some of them ACT like our enemies. While mayors and governors may not be able to legally do anything (other than make noise via the political process), Congress critters certainly can do something. I hope they do. Best regards, RA1
November 20, 201510 yr Author The Syrians that I know do not ACT like our enemy. They act like our friend. I think that we have become a nation of non-trusting citizens and mostly based on religion.
November 20, 201510 yr Active Members Some do and some don't. It is easier to become non-trusting when friends and others are killed. Best regards, RA1
November 20, 201510 yr Active Members While mayors and governors may not be able to legally do anything... The bulk of resettlement assistance provided to refugees is state in nature (or federally funded programs administered by state agencies), so a determined governor can make it impractical to place Syrians in his state. It all depends on whether the gov in question is serious enough to jam things up or just grandstanding.
