The Refugee Act of 1980, of course.
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-94/pdf/STATUTE-94-Pg102.pdf
That law was passed by Congress, and it is indisputably the law of the land. It gives the President sole authority in such immigration matters.
If states try to prevent refugees from entering in any way, they are breaking the law. States may refuse to offer aid themselves, but they may not bar refugees from entering.
Great law, but it doesnt say what you think it says.
"SEC. 207. (a)(1) Except as provided in subsection (b), the number of
refugees who may be admitted under this section in fiscal year 1980,
1981, or 1982,
may not exceed fifty thousand unless the President
determines, before the beginning of the fiscal year
and after appropriate
consultation (as defined in subsection (e)), that admission of a
specific number of refugees in excess of such number is justified by
humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest. ...
"(b) If the President determines, after appropriate consultation,
that (1) an unforeseen emergency refugee situation exists, (2) the
admission of certain refugees in response to the emergency refugee
situation is justified by grave humanitarian concerns or
is otherwise
in the national interest,
and (3) the admission to the United States of
these refugees cannot be accomplished under subsection (a), ...
"(e) For purposes of this section, the term 'appropriate consultation*
means, with respect to the admission of refugees and allocation
of refugee admissions,
discussions in person by designated
Cabinet-level representatives of the President with members of the
Committees on the Judiciary of the Senate and of the House of
Representatives to review the refugee situation or emergency refugee
situation, ....
Obama has done no consulting with the appropriate Senate and House leadership and he has failed to show where admitting any of these refugees is in the national interest in a time of high unemployment and the known presence of ISIS terrorists in this mass of combat aged Muslim immigrants who do not have the typical demographics of a refugee group.
Moreover....
"(2)
The Director, together with the Coordinator, shall consult
regularly with State and local governments and private nonprofit
voluntary agencies concerning the sponsorship process and the
intended distribution of refugees among the States and localities. ....
The states in question have consulted and said 'No, we will not cooperate.' as they have every Constitutional right to do under the 10th Amendment.
Send them to Saudi Arabia, Iran or Pakistan, just dont bring the bastards here.
No fight on the inside
