Texas governor sends letter to Obama: We won't take Syrian refugees

Immigration is nowhere to be seen in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. But then, I don't expect any republican to know that. Just like the bozos state governors that warned Obama that they would not be taking any Syrian refugees. Anyone who doesn't know that basic truth is Unconstitutional in this country is automatically disqualified from being POTUS, imo. In fact, those governors should be impeached for stupidity and thrown out of office.

The Statue Of Liberty is an ideal, not a right.

The funniest thing of all is that all these republicans stand up for less government, but I have never seen a set of people wanting to impose more of their beliefs on other people FORCED THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT.

So, it is small government when it suits them, and big government when it suits them. "Tails I win, heads you lose." - Republicans.

The Simple Truth: Republicans Hate Our Constitution

• Abortion? Well, we disagree with it, so we can try to violate the Constitutionally protected right a woman has over her own body.
• The Affordable Care Act? Well, we disagree with it, so it’s okay to try and ignore that Constitutionally upheld law.
• Religion in public school? Well, we think our country was founded on Christianity (even though the word Christianity doesn’t appear even once in our Constitution), so it’s okay to ignore the First Amendment and force religion (as long as it’s the Christian religion) into our public schools.
• Freedom for all? Well, not if you’re homosexual. Then we’ll continue to violate the First Amendment by supporting laws that define marriage as between a man and a woman. A belief that’s based on the Christian Bible—a belief of which millions of Christians don’t even support.
• Conservatives don’t like that minorities often don’t vote for their party, so it’s acceptable to try and change our Fourteenth Amendment and the Constitutional definition of what constitutes an American citizen.
• Certain demographics don’t vote for us, so let’s find ways to make it harder for them to vote. Similar to poll taxes or tests once used to discourage certain voters from voting.
• ad-infinitum

I didn't say it was in the constitution. I was simply comparing the leftist stance that we need to do away with some of this old shit, but then you knew that. It's just that you lefties are so selective with what needs changing and what doesn't. Whatever fits the current mantra.
Let'em all in. We're all gonna' die in a heat wave anyway, so says Comrade Sanders and Dear Leader. Temp is going up a half degree in the next thousand years. That's some serious shit. Besides the JV team has been contained. Nothing to see here, the messiah is on the job.

Obama is SUCH A DICK! That is a totally immoral statement. Neither do we (1) fear widows and orphans, nor (2) have the obligation to take INVADERS into our country and pay for their support for the rest of their lives.

He does NOT "support and defend the US Constitution" and America in general, as his oath of office requires... he only represents (and forcefully executes beyond his constitutional authority) his agenda.

So.... why don't the Congress and SCOTUS put a stop to his dictator-like BS?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Nitro is also on board with "hate speech" laws...Obviously, he would love to craft them to fit his particular set of grievances...He is the embodiment of a high IQ idiot.

The problem is not limited to refugees. The problem is massive immigration from third world countries, immigration that threatens our way of life. It is not just illegal immigration either. When you hear a candidate qualify that he is only against illegal immigration, you know he either is lying to you or doesn't understand the issue.

From Ann Coulter's column today:

.... ..


While liberals' idea of retaliation is to post the French flag on their Twitter profiles, Republicans think the way to get tough is to go to war in Syria.


Marco Rubio gives macho speeches about a military attack on ISIS -- "either they win or we win!" -- to distract from the fact that his immigration bill would have massively increased the number of needy immigrants pouring into our country -- including Muslim refugees.


So Rubio's plan for Middle East stability is to start more wars and then import all the displaced terrorists into the United States. Brilliant!


Not to be a stickler, but ISIS didn't slaughter 3,000 Americans on 9/11, blow up the Boston Marathon, murder thirteen Americans at Fort Hood, or open fire on a military recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.


ISIS didn't kill Kate Steinle, commitmass murder on the Long Island Railroad, introducePalo MayombeandSanteriato our country, bringslaves and concubines from Indiato San Francisco, or burn down hundreds of acres of national parks to evade border agents.


ISIS doesn't import 90 percent of the illegal drugs that kill thousands of Americans every year, steal billions of dollars from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, orrape little girls, nuns and dogs in our country.


ISIS isn't responsible for Sweden suddenly becoming therape capital of the world, the Eritrean asylum seeker whostabbed a mother and a son to deathat an Ikea store in Vasteras a few months ago, or theDutch filmmaker Theo van Goghbeing stabbed to death on a street in Amsterdam.


All that -- and more! -- is the result of Third World immigration to the First World.


The West's importation of Stone Age people is a completely self-inflicted wound. It's as if the civilized world decided to amputate a leg.You know what? We're too healthy and pure. Peg legs are stylish!


The idea that the only way to stop Third World immigrants from murdering Westerners is for our military to remake foreign hellholes into "proud, functioning and viable member(s) of the community of nations" -- as Madeline Albright said when we sent troops to Somalia in 1993 -- goes back to the Left's "root causes" theory.


Instead of imprisoning criminals, liberal judges in the 1960s decided that we must tackle the "root causes" of crime by addressing PID: poverty, ignorance and disease. To fight crime, we'd deploy welfare, Head Start and school lunch programs!


For the next two decades our streets ran with blood. Americans finally rose up in a blind rage and demanded that criminals be separated from the law-abiding.


Similarly, we wish the best for all the barbaric, misogynistic, pedophilic, illiterate nations of the world. But the main thing we want is for our government to keep them away from us.


Isn't keeping murderers out of the country literally the least our government can do? America has been pretty generous to the rest of the world, taking in more than twice as many refugees as the rest of the world combined. As Donald Trump says, now we need a "pause."


Rubio's war in Syria to stop terrorism at home is the Republican version of Clinton's "midnight basketball" to stop street crime.Pay no attention to all those murderous migrants -- we'll fix that by rebuilding their home nations!


True, a war against ISIS might "send a message." But we were hoping to send a different message: Stay home.

I'm just guessing here, but I think native born Americans make up the vast majority of criminals, probably in greater proportion to its population vis a vis immigrants.

Ann Coulter's voice is the last desperate gasp from the once dominant WASPs. They
ruled America since its founding into the early 20 century. From the mid 19th century through the age of industrialization they promoted immigration in order to get cheap labor and maintain the fantastic wealth poured out of this continent. Never mind they forcibly immigrated millions of Africans. Now their heirs are largely broke, having wasted their inheritance over a few generations, and they want to blame the immigrants for that. 100 years ago, it was the dirty Jews, Italians, Poles, etc. who were fucking up the country. Now it's the Mexicans et al.

Get a fucking job and stop whining. If an illegal can, so can a WASP. Or maybe they can't. Perhaps the demise of the WASP is one if the pillars of the continuation of welfare. After all, 70% of welfare goes to white folks.

This is a big collection of nonsense but sadly typical of what passes for perceived wisdom on campuses and among the elites today. Illegal immigrants commit disproportionate percentages of crime. Immigrants probably too but I don't have the stats at hand. Immigrants are on welfare and other services at far higher rates as well.

Like Obama and the Sanders/Hillary crowd, you see the people who built this country as evil exploiters whose demise should be hastened. I guess the wonderful garden spots of africa and latin america are the model for what you want america to look like.

Not me.

The office of the President says there will be robust vetting procedures to eliminate risk when we let in the 'widows and orphans' from Syria.

However,
"FBI Director James Comey clearly stated: “We can only query against that which we have collected. And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our data base, we can query our data base till the cows come home, but we’re not going to, they’ll be nothing to show up because we have no record on that person.”

Even though FBI Deputy Assistant Director Michael Steinbach also confirmed that we can’t conduct adequate background checks of people coming into the country from Syria because we have no “footprint on the ground” and therefore “databases won’t have the information we need. So it’s not that we have a lack of process."

So who you gonna believe? Do I even have to ask?

Or, 'it's just not American to keep these people out or to establish a database".

Ok, then describe to me the 'Americanism' of having the NSA and DHS watching every move you make, make you go through metal detectors to watch an event, going through all your emails and listening to your phone calls, etc, etc, etc.

The bottom line is they are lying their azzes off, and the 'scientific' cause-effect relationship will be even more intrusion into every aspect of your everyday life. To keep you safe.

I've got a better idea about Americanism. Keep the foreigners out and get out of our everyday lives. That sounds American to me.
