Obama threatens States ‘You can’t refuse Syrian refugees’

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


So our little Dictator in chief will make sure that he bankrupts the States with his Obama phones and every other freebie that our new imports will be entitled to. Bet the Red States will be high on his list for destinations. Wonder why I think that. Yet he refuses to enforce our Immigration laws. Sanctuary cities comes to mind.

The Obama administration is warning states that they cannot refuse to accept refugees fleeing war-torn Syria, saying that noncompliant states may be subject to penalties.

The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) said in a letter to state agencies on Wednesday that they cannot withhold services to refugees based on their country of origin or religion.

“Accordingly, states may not categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees,” the letter said. “Any state with such a policy would not be in compliance with the State Plan requirements, applicable statutes, and their own assurances, and could be subject to enforcement action, including suspension and termination.”

The letter cited the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination on the basis of race or country or origin.

“Thus, it is not permissible to deny federally funded benefits such as Medicaid or TANF to refugees who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements.”
