Discussion: Family of Syrian Refugees Diverted To Connecticut At Indiana Gov's Request

Discussion for article #242984

I hope this proves to be as popular as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. If so, look for Indianapolis to become a Mecca for Syrian refugees.

“Indiana” is a misnomer. A more accurate moniker would be “Northern Kentucky”.

They cancelled a soccer match in Germany because an truck filled with explosives was disguised as an ambulance. When the Pope came to the US, there were warnings about terrorists disguised as police.

Funny, I don’t remember any Republican governors disbanding state police forces and relocating hospitals outside their borders.

Racist cowards.

This is getting really sick. I wouldn’t want to live in Indiana, anyway, but if I chose to do so there’s nothing the state government can do about it. Can the states legally get away with this? – Anyone? I’m saying NO, they can’t … but I’m unfamiliar with the nation’s laws dealing with refugees.

Perhaps Gov. Pence does not understand that we are all immigrants or descendents of immigrants.

Surely, Pence does not want to appear as an ignorant bigot.

If a party host said you were unwelcome to sit at the dinner table wouldn’t you wonder what the kitchen staff might be instructed to do to your meal once you seated yourself despite objections?

Indiana has a long tradition of opening our arms and homes to refugees from around the world but, …

a Republican governor can change all that.

I think they’ll be happier in Connecticut anyhow.

According to Huckabee they should all be shipped off to the sand of Arizona and New Mexico. They’ll be happier there.

As a native Hoosier, you can bash the man and his politics all you want, but lay off the state as a whole. There are a lot of decent people there who disagree with him entirely.

Oh, sure. However, living in Indiana is no party. Seriously, though: From a legal standpoint, does he have a leg on which to stand? Yeah, he can cause there to be some dragging-out of the social services administered in his state but sooner or later, they’d have to follow-through on any services that are available by law to any other person(s) in the same situation.

That said, I wouldn’t wish to go to any state where there is that much hostility toward me and my kind. I feel sorry those folks have been met with such idiocy. I’m glad Connecticut has opened its arms. I wish them well.

Thank the deity there are people in this country who still practice a form of Christianity that doesn’t preach hate.
You are no better than Westboro Baptist
