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.

Jerry Brown IS an idiot!
All the crazy people out there love him. Wait till the start being killed by the ones they let in. No compassion here!
Just what California needs…more crazies!!!!!
He has no clue, I can not wait to get out of Ca.
idiot
HOW? Syria has been in a revolution for 5 years — there are no records. HOW will he vet them. First Californian killed by a terrorist — his family is going to go after GOV. Moonbeam.
Fukin moron!!!!
How do you know Jerry? Did Obama tell you!!! You cannot vet someone when little or no information exist about them.
at this point no one cares what happens to California….they have brought this upon themselves…..i foresee a terrorist attack in California that will make Paris look like a school yard fight…..at least it will decrease the liberal and gay population…
Another delusional. Lord, come soon!
