Ofaloaf posted:I got real salty when he signed off on the right-to-work legislation after explicitly and repeatedly denying having any interest in doing so, and now I'm doubly-salty because I'm rather proud of our state's Arab-American community and this closure he announced just kind of shits all over that. This was a prime opportunity for us to show off how we work with new immigrant communities and with the decently large Arab community in our fine state, and but no, Lansing just had to let our a big wet fart instead. I don't really have any opinion on RtW, but iirc he did push for immigrants before what happened in Paris despite it not being very popular (There was dumb stuff about it that showed up on snopes). I can't imagine it being politically sound to support it afterwards.

Pakled posted:As I understand, governors can de facto close their state to refugees by ordering state agencies, which the federal government relies on to place refugees, to not cooperate with federal agencies on the matter. This may or may not be legal, but some governors are threatening to do it anyway. If sanctuary cities are a-OK, I don't see how this would be any different.

Yeah, I was confused as to how they were conducting air strikes against ISIS otherwise - but then I guess there are still American air bases in Poland and Djibouti or wherever? edit - looked for a map for this but they all seem out of date, going back to the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. freebooter fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Nov 18, 2015 |

NATO bases are enough, and Turkey opened their Incirlik air base near the Syrian border for US planes last month or so.

I heard a depressing little bit on NPR yesterday about how, among Republicans, it's now just established fact that there are terrorists among Syrian refugees. It's not a maybe, it's not up for debate, it's just been decided to be 100% true. This bummed me out a lot.

I read a comment somewhere (not from the US) that its "proven" that 5% of the refugees are terrorists. This was accompanied by the usual atrocious grammar, which honestly bugs me more than the statement itself.
