More than half a dozen state governors have come out against President Obama’s plans to relocate several thousand Syrian refugees within the United States. Some have pledged to actively resist settlement of these refugees. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), for example, signed a letter to Obama that begins “as governor of Texas, I write to inform you that the State of Texas will not accept any refugees from Syria in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in Paris.” Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) issued an executive order instructing all “departments, budget units, agencies, offices, entities, and officers of the executive branch of the State of Louisiana” to “utilize all lawful means to prevent the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the State of Louisiana while this Order is in effect.”
The problem for Jindal, Abbott and the other governors opposed to admitting refugees, however, is that there is no lawful means that permits a state government to dictate immigration policy to the president in this way. As the Supreme Court explained in Hines v. Davidowitz, “the supremacy of the national power in the general field of foreign affairs, including power over immigration, naturalization and deportation, is made clear by the Constitution.” States do not get to overrule the federal government on matters such as this one.

I believe NC has a sufficient supply of hog waste, conveniently stockpiled in existing lagoons, to “cleanse” any area the Feds deem suitable for “resettlement” of the invaders.

Def: “cleanse” … The word used in Daniel 8:14 is “tsadaq” and it means ” justify, vindicate, make right, or bring justice (in administering law)”.
“To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” -- Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:277
all the Governors do have the power to stop the invasion, and if they don,t then they will be in dereliction of duty and should be jailed. The federal government does not have the power to interfere in state rights, our nation was founded on states being more powerful then the federal Marxists have become using deceit, fraud, manipulation of the law, in all they have become a lawless federal government thinking it can do what ever they want. it’s time for each of the Governors of the Southern States to institute state militias once again. our states need men in excess of 300,000 able bodied men to defend against these lunatic Marxists who have taken over our government.
The truth is that it comes down to a question of force. Are these governors willing to follow the lead of our Southern fathers and resist or will that follow the cowardice that has brought us to this point.
As much as it pains me I suspect it will be the latter.
i believe they can, they need to tell the feds to go take there money and stuff it up there filthy butts and stop taking the stolen money from us the tax payer, then the states must stop all payments to the feds. they need to begin minting there own coins from silver/ gold and get off the useless paper controlled money from that khazarian jew private banking system.
