Governors nationwide continue to refuse to admit Syrian refugees amidst security concerns and in defiance of President Obama’s stated desire to go forward with the mass importation of people in the wake of the Paris nightclub shooting that left over 120 people dead. Reporting at Breitbart, Michelle Fields notes:

Twenty-Nine Governors are asking President Obama to halt the Syrian refugee program, out of concern for the safety of their constituents.

There are currently 31 Republican Governors in office. Of these, 28 have said that they will not allow Syrian refugees into their state.

Governors around the country are concerned with Syrian refugees, in the aftermath of the Paris terrorist attacks. At least one of the Paris terrorists pretended to be a Syrian refugee in order to enter Europe and later take part in the attack Friday that led to the death of over 120 people.

On Monday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter to President Obama saying that his state will not accept Syrian refugees.

“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.”

“The threat posed to Texas by ISIS is real,” Abbott added. “ISIS claimed credit last May when two terrorist gunmen launched an attack in Garland, Texas. Less than two weeks later, the FBI arrested an Iraqi-born man in North Texas and charged him with lying to federal agents about traveling to Syria to fight with ISIS.”

It’s unclear whether this will hold up legally, but President Barack Obama has never shied away from ramming his preferred policies down American’s throats.
