Evidently states can (and will) refuse refugees.

Syrian refugee family bound for Indiana forced to relocate to Connecticut after Gov. Pence’s ban

INDIANAPOLIS (Nov. 18, 2015) — A Syrian refugee family bound for Indiana had to be quickly diverted this week after Gov. Mike Pence banned refugees from entering the state, The New York Times reports.

The Indianapolis-based group Exodus Refugee Immigration received a letter Tuesday from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, obtained by FOX 59, that the arrival of the family, expected Thursday, must be suspended.

“We would ask that you notify your national resettlement agency that the scheduled placement for the Syrian family scheduled to arrive this Thursday, November 19, and all subsequent Syrian arrivals be suspended or redirected to another state that is willing to accept Syrian placements until assurances that proper security measures are in place,” FSSA director Adrienne Shields said.

Exodus Refugee Immigration’s executive director told The New York Times she found a relocation spot in New Haven, Connecticut at Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services.

On Monday, Pence told FOX59 in an interview the order was to ensure the safety of Hoosiers.

Good for them, they should have been standing up to this thug Obama and his administration of thugs all this time he's been in office, since our stinking traitors in Congress won't seem to do it for us. CALL your Governors and then your CongressCritters.

the problem is we had a set limit to how many they would be allowing in and then EVERY DAY they keep jacking it up how many now they are up 100, 000 from 10, 000.

Call call email is the only way to have your voices heard on what YOU the American citizens want's done. You know that thug isn't going to listen to you he's hasn't once yet
 
I don't remember this much concern from Governor Pence when it came to the refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, or the Syrians that are already relocated. I would hate to think this is about his falling poll numbers and approval rating but after the RFRA fiasco, I would not put it past him.

So, the local agency decided to not push the issue? Who the fuck cares because when the Feds slam the hammer down it's gonna look like this, dumbshit.

One agency, not even a state one, decided to fold. The Feds weren't even involved and you clap like a stupid fuckin' toddler with a cookie.
