Deviating from the cautious course being pursued by at least 27 state governors, California Governor Jerry Brown vowed to work closely with President Obama in resettling Syrian refugees entering the United States, reassuring Californians that the incoming asylum-seekers would be “fully vetted in a sophisticated and utterly reliable way.” This means that many of the 10,000 Syrians the Obama administration is planning to bring into the country within the next year may be settled throughout the Sunshine State.
Brown’s promise to cooperate with the Obama administration is interesting considering his past positions and remarks on a similar issue. During the 1970’s, when thousands of Vietnamese fled the communists taking over their country, Brown, then an up-and-coming liberal politician, expressed little sympathy towards them, reportedly stating that the federal government was going to “dump Vietnamese” onto the people of California.
An interesting choice of words on his part. One wonders how he and other liberals would react if someone said he was going to “dump Syrians” on California.
See how others reacted to Brown’s announcement on the next page:
Good luck with that, you are a fool to think these so called refugees will stay in CA. No one can keep track of them.
Take them all, put them in Pelosi’s district. Ask for no help from America when they attack. Dig your own grave buddy and the Graves of a few of your constituents and of course, blame it all on Bush when they attack#
That way when they start killing they the government can push for more Gun Control
Wtg Moonbeam, your State is bankrupt but you will continue to spend.
Apparently Jerry Brown is an idiot!!!!!!
People are already leaving California. This mindset confuses me greatly!
I don’t think these people have anything other than a name. It’s probably like going into a corn field and naming each stalk.
From the state that gave us Ronald Reagan. How in the world could they go so far down down the tubes. This State now ranks right up their with Illinois.
So, he should want to know if Obama is skating the laws again like he did our immigration laws?
Is this state ever going to sink?
