Governor Snyder SUSPENDS Syrian refugee effort in Michigan.
Yet, you probably haven’t seen this recent word (as of 11:50 AM today).
“Snyder OK with Syrian refugees already enroute:
EAST LANSING — About 20 Syrian refugees already in the pipeline either recently arrived in Michigan or are expected to arrive soon, and Gov. Rick Snyder said Monday he is not asking that they be stopped or vetted again under a change in Michigan’s refugee policy he announced Sunday.
‘That would be a decision that would be up to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,’ Snyder told reporters after a morning speech in East Lansing.
‘Again, they're the ones making the review. They're the ones who have reviewed the files and records and made the decision that these individuals were safe to come to our country.’"
But be reminded of comments made by Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Michael McCaul stating:
“The President wants to surge thousands of Syrian refugees into the United States, in spite of consistent intelligence community and federal law enforcement warnings that we do not have the intelligence needed to vet individuals from the conflict zone. We also know that ISIS wants to use refugee routes as cover to sneak operatives into the West. I implore the President to consult with Congress before taking any drastic action and to level with the American people about the very real security challenges we face.”
So even though just yesterday Governor Snyder said he is suspending Syrian refugee efforts, today he says he is going to allow without further vetting about 20 Syrian refugees already in the pipeline.
Keep in mind the following. It only takes one such refugee with evil intentions.
Ahmad Al Mohammad, 25, who blew himself up, may have entered Europe as part of the migration of refugees from war-torn Syria. He was born in Idlib, Syria, and had been issued a Syrian emergency passport after landing on the Greek island of Leros, according to CNN.
Call Governor Rick Snyder’s office today and tell him suspending the influx of Syrian refugees while allowing those that are in the pipeline does not go far enough to keep the people of this state safe.

This is a pass along (forward to others) email alert. Do it soon, please!
Whether this is your governor or not, this is your country. Potential breakdowns have the potential of affecting us all.
Several governors say that they will not resettle any refugees from Syria in their states, amid reports that at least one of the Paris attackers slipped through Europe’s immigration system and concerns about “gaping holes” impacting America’s screening process.
On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he sent a letter to President Obama saying that Texas will not take any Syrian refugees in light of the attacks.
"Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity," Abbott wrote. "As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril."
He joined a growing list of governors who have said they will not resettle Syrian refugees, including Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson in opposing the move, who said Monday in a tweet, "As Governor I will oppose Syrian refugees being located to Arkansas…”
