South Dakota: No to Refugees

Governor Dennis Daugaard joined with 34 other governors across the country in calling on the Obama administration to re-assess the screening process for the Syrian refugees.

Obama may force states to accept the refugees. The Refugee Act of 1980 gives the executive branch broad powers.

It reminds me of the Cuban crisis. President Carter accepted many Cubans into the United States. Guess what Castro did? He opened his prisons and let out the inmates, on the condition they go to the United States. After a tornado ripped through Grand Island Nebraska, Carter, with many Cuban refugees went to the city as a humanitian effort. The headlines the next day: Two disasters hit Grand Island, Tornado and Carter comes to town.

I wonder how states that have shut their down will react when those doors are kicked open?
