  1. ccording to Think Progress’ Ian Millhiser, the states are limited in their power to resist the intake of refugees, an action that’s specifically under the president’s purview.

    So we can't refuse refugees from Texas then, either? That's not fair!

  2. Quick rundown of how bad the GOP candidates are:

    Carson says we should block refugees.
    Rubio has changed his mind and is no longer open to accepting any.
    Ted Cruz thinks we should block Muslim refugees but allow in Christians.
    Trump wants to keep all of them out.
    Paul is actually trying to get a bill passed to stop refugees from being allowed into the US.
    Bush only wants to allow Christians in.
    Fiorina is against any refugees coming in.
    Kasich is against allowing refugees and is one of the governors that is trying to prevent them from coming into his state.
    Christie is against refugees because he "doesn't trust Obama"

    So we have a line-up of xenophobic assholes.
