Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant sent a letter to Obama stating he would not allow the federal government to bring illegals into his state.
“To the extent permitted by law, I intend to prohibit the federal government or its agents from housing large numbers of new illegal immigrants in the state of Mississippi,” Bryant wrote.
“Illegal immigration imposes real and substantial costs on the states, and it is unfair to expect the states to bear the costs of a problem created by the federal government’s failure to enforce the law.”
JACKSON — Mississippi has received fewer than 200 of the unaccompanied immigrant children who crossed the U.S. border and were released to sponsors so far this year, but the war of words over such children continues within the state.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families released data yesterday showing that sponsors in Mississippi received 179 of more than 30,000 such children nationwide from January 1 to July 7.
California, Florida, New York and Texas received the most children in the past half year, accounting for 46 percent of the children released to sponsors.
Gov. Phil Bryant, a longtime opponent of illegal immigration, said it was “troubling” that the federal government was sending children to Mississippi without consulting him, calling the moves “covert immigration practices conducted by an overreaching federal government.”
Bryant, a Republican, wrote to President Barack Obama on Friday demanding that Obama pre-announce plans to send immigrants to Mississippi and saying Mississippi would block transports.
Bryant, who accused Obama of having “lax immigration policies and flagrant disregard for federal immigration law” noted a 2012 executive order he signed that’s meant to bar immigrants living in Mississippi illegally from receiving public benefits. Yesterday, he threatened immediate action against any official who violates that order by giving food stamps, non-emergency medical benefits or welfare payments to the children.
The Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance held a news conference yesterday to decry Bryant’s letter, saying Mississippi should welcome children in need and afford them a chance to go through deportation hearings under federal law.
“We’re very concerned about the xenophobia in the letter that was put out by the governor,” said alliance Executive Director Bill Chandler.
Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., sent his own letter to Obama criticizing Bryant’s stance.
“We have a moral obligation as Americans and as decent human beings to do the right by the kids that have, against the odds, reached our border,” Thompson wrote. “Many Mississippians agree on this — you can count me among them.”
GOOD ARREST OBAMA THE TRAITOR
Every state should do this! Hell, California is welcoming them with open arms. That is why this state is in decline!
It’s time for the States to take back their rights. We are being punished already with the Feds. so called help. Look at our schools.
Yea, if you can catch them
Good for him!
Fight for states rights
haha self aggrandizing nut. oops, I see this is a page full of racists, sorry for the intrusion, proceed with your bigotry.
Sure we can feel sorry for the kids, but their own families are using them as pawns to gain entry into the US. So…yes, I agree with this governor.
But they are already there because Obama isn’t telling where they put them
As usual we have to ask WHY Obama refuses to call ISIS what they are. He continues to call them extremists, as if they are extremists for what reason: they’re just very upset about a lot of stuff. He will not call it by its name: Islamic radicalism. Obama speaks again & as always – 1st says we will destroy them but then clarified that his aim was not to destroy the Islamist army but to hem in its forces until it was “a manageable problem.”
Aug job #’s are out & they are good. But due to the way Obama cooks the books on employment %-it went down. WHY? Because more people stopped looking for work. And there are more people working part-time wanting full time
Income for poor & middle-class has continued to go DOWN while Obama continues to tell everyone how great things are
*Now we know that Obama received a briefing on ISIS over a year ago & did NOTHING
**Now we are finding out that DHS has lost trace on 6,000 people here on student visa who have over stayed
***How much more can we take?
**Lerner e-mail shows Lois Lerner Ignored Political Expenditures By Unions-She is still being paid after all we know. WHY?
**IRS Lerner’s Blackberry was intentionally destroyed after Congress had begun its probe into IRS targeting of conservative groups, a senior IRS lawyer acknowledged in a sworn declaration. Sadly, this has become standard operating procedure for the Obama administration. Delay. Derail. Deceive.”
Putin reminds everyone that he has Nukes. Now has 4,000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine & what does Obama say-NOTHING
**anyone want to ask if when Obama told Putin he would be more flexible after the election is the reason Obama refuses to help Ukraine?
Obama says when asked about acting with out Congress “It is my job to protect the American people & when our people or 1 of our embassies is in danger – I have to act immediately” So I ask – WHAT ABOUT BENGHAZI?
Obama threatens to go around Congress with global warming.
Obama threatens to give amnesty to millions
Is this proof that all Obama is doing is trying to get Republicans to do something that will cause them problems? Showing that he doesn’t know what he is doing & that he doesn’t care what happens to America in the process.
**IRS Lerner’s Blackberry was intentionally destroyed after Congress had begun its probe into IRS targeting of conservative groups, a senior IRS lawyer acknowledged in a sworn declaration. Sadly, this has become standard operating procedure for the Obama administration. Delay. Derail. Deceive.”
***Here is what I say about Obama – You can put a suit on a community organizer but that doesn’t make you a President.
Obama says about ISIS-You can put on a Laker uniform but that doesn’t make you Koby Brant.
GAO now says that Obama broke the law when they traded for Berghdal & that they also broke law by using fund that were not available – $1 million
So they aren’t worried about America’s open borders & immigration-Dempsey says that those in EU have to be worried about ISIS due to their open borders & immigration.
Obama speaks on beheading & what did we get once again. No FIRE – is there anything that would get him to actually act as if he gave a damn? ISIS just beheaded an American journalists as they say they will do it again.
Those that came to this country the legal way & they aren’t happy about all the illegals that may be getting a free pass.
Millennium’s are losing faith in Obama at alarming rate.
WHO is going to get hurt if Obama uses exec order to give work visa’s to some 100,000.Let’s see that would be low & middle class that will now have to compete for those jobs. WHO is going to make sure that these 100,000 actually get work & pay taxes?
This from Obama
-on Ukraine-we will wait & see what happens
-on Gaza-what HAMAS has done is irresponsible-as usual-weak statement.
-O tells other countries to be transparent-Obama is least transparent & he tells others to be transparent. JOKE
-on Syria-O did nothing & killing are still going on
-on Libya-O got rid of Gaddafi & then country fell apart
-on Iran-O still negotiating with Iran while they are supplying Hamas with weapons
-on Iraq-O pulled out then Iran stepped in & country fell apart-all while we are still negotiating with Iran
Listening to Dem’s going on & on about the CHILDREN – THEY ARE NOT ALL CHILDREN. Question-WHY is NO ONE talking about the 2/3 of these crossing our border that are not children. 178,000-YES-that is the # of illegals that have come since Oct 2013. WHY is no one talking about the 118,000 that are not children? Intelligence report: 90% of the illegal children interviewed state they are not fleeing violence; they are coming because they were told they would get amnesty.
Update on IRS lost e-mails – now 1 IS persons has told us that hard drive had deep gashes on it. So they didn’t crash
-CIA caught spying on Senate & Dem’s not happy. Pheiffer says Brennan is a man of great integrity-in other words he does what Obama ask him to do.
-IRS we now have e-mail from Lerner showing her calling conservatives A..holes & crazies. Time to charge Lerner.
-IRS says now that they have found back-up tapes & are looking for Lerner e-mails-Is this another LIE from IRS?
-Fed courts say those using Obamacare that only those in state exchanges are allowed subsidies
-Another courts say all states are allowed subsidies
-9/11 Commission say that we are LESS safe now than before 9/11
-Benghazi report now says that they ask for extra security prior to attack when they learned that terrorists moved in right next door but State dept says they didn’t want to upset neighbors
-We now find out that Kerry released half of $$’s being held under sanctions back to Iran just to keep working on the deal.
-Story Bergdahl’s health. They now say he was tortured-of course he was-would you trust a deserter?
-Hagel says that they didn’t negotiating w/terrorists they negotiated w/Qatar. DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID?
-Obama admin are saying those that were actually there when Bergdahl deserted are LYING.
Obama says that we never leave a man behind. Guess he has forgotten about Benghazi.
Anything reported–Obama says that he didn’t know.
Again we ask–What the hell does Obama know? Plausible Deni ability
Fast & Furious–Obama didn’t know-courts now say they must turn over documents-we will hold our breath for that 1.
Benghazi–Obama didn’t know-now documents show that Obama & Clinton LIED about the attack & Morrell gave St Dept cover. We also know that he was not in the situation room that night. All on ground said terrorists attack. CIA chose to listen to analyst in DC instead.
IRS–Obama didn’t know-now calling it a media scandal. DOJ says NO charges
NSA–Obama didn’t know
Obamacare not working–Obama didn’t know- Obama said he was not told DIRECTLY now there is a memo showing the White house was told 1 week prior to roll out of issues.
OH NO – not again. Obama admin admitted that it has lost emails from the key official who oversaw the botched Obamacare roll out last year
Going after AP & FOX reporters phone records because they were reporting things that Obama didn’t want known – Obama didn’t know
ICE reports 36,000 illegals released last year & 1,000’s have criminal records-even rape & murder.
70% of VA facilities used secret waiting list. In 2011 they started the bonus program.
VA scandal They say Obama found out reading newspaper but Obama & Biden were told 5 years ago that VA was inaccurately report wait times.
Obama always says he will get to the bottom of it & then what do we see–NOTHING. Obama continues to say “We will bring those responsible to justice”. And what have we seen – NO ONE held accountable.
By the way-this is 1 woman that does not support Obama or anything that he stands for! We will get the truth 1 day. My motto:”I WILL NOT COMPLY!” So I will sing my song until he is gone.. Please enjoy & start learning the words.
