After startling, but perhaps expected, reports that terrorists got into Paris last week by posing as Syrian refugees, many American politicians are turning their attention to Obama’s plan to immediately bring 100,000 supposed refugees into the United States of America.
In response, Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) has written a letter to President Barack Obama telling him that Texas will take no part in his plan to relocate thousands of Syrian refugees into the state of Texas.
He also pleaded that the president stop the program altogether, and was joined by many other conservative governors in his calls to end the acceptance of these strangers — and potential terrorists — onto our shores.
President Obama must stop the influx of these people into our country, or he puts us at risk of another large-scale terrorist attacks.
While ISIS has claimed that American blood will soon spill, Obama seems all too willing to let the impending catastrophe happen.

Letter to President Obama from Gov.Bobby Jindal, LA
In light of Paris terrorist attacks, time to pause the process of refugees coming to the US.
Dear President Obama,
In the wake of another round of appalling terrorist attacks, I write to express great sadness at the events in Paris, as well as my grave concern about the unreported diffusion of Syrian refugees in the United States.
Last week, the city of New Orleans began receiving its first wave of Syrian refugees. As with former immigration crises and federal relocation policy, Louisiana has been kept in the dark about those seeking refuge in the state. It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state’s knowledge or involvement.
As Governor of Louisiana, I demand information about the Syrian refugees being placed in Louisiana in hopes that the night of horror in Paris is not duplicated here. In the wake of these atrocities, I also ask for details on the below:
1) What level of background screening was conducted prior to entry in the United States?
2) In light of the fact that some of those responsible for last night’s attacks held Syrian passports, what additional protections and screenings will be put in place?
3) Will all Syrian refugees seeking relocation in the United States now be cleared by the Terrorist Screening Center?
4) What degree of monitoring will be sustained after initial placement in Louisiana?
As Americans, we embolden freedom and opportunity to the rest of the world, but by opening up our borders and refusing to collaborate or share information with states, you are threatening that reality.
Mr. President, in light of these attacks on Paris and reports that one of the attackers was a refugee from Syria, it would be prudent to pause the process of refugees coming to the United States. Authorities need to investigate what happened in Europe before this problem comes to the United States.
Sincerely,
Governor Bobby Jindal
