President Obama is failing to handle the Syrian refugee situation at a federal level. WE MUST take a stand with the other proactive states that have made the decision to deny the entry of Syrian refugees into their state borders. As Texas Governor Greg Abbot mentioned in his letter to President Obama, a Syrian refugee was part of the latest terrorist attack on Paris, which we can be confident is just one planned event on ISIS' itinerary. As the Governor also contended in his letter, the FBI is unable to conduct accurate background checks on Syrian nationals seeking entry into our country- in other words, our safety from terror on our very own soil at the hands of these individuals cannot be ensured, and in fact, appears to be warmly invited with open arms. We know the threat, it is very real, and if our Nation's leader won't protect us, we need to take it on head-first at a state level.
