Governor Branstad’s decision to slam the door shut on Syrians refugees is heartbreaking, yet not surprising
Statement by Senator Janet Petersen of Des Moines –
“Yesterday morning, the governor talked of his concern for those driven from their homes by war and terrorism. Hours later, Governor Branstad took action that demonstrates once again how far short he falls of his Republican predecessor, Governor Robert Ray.
“Governor Ray’s leadership during the Southeast Asian refugee crisis made Iowans proud. Governor Branstad’s pandering to uninformed fearmongering embarrasses us all.
Earlier this year, Governor Branstad vetoed bipartisan legislation for a small pilot project to improve refugee services. He claimed he needed more time to create a “state-wide solution for refugees.” *
“Is turning his back on desperate people Governor Branstad’s “state-wide solution for refugees”?

They have the solution. Time to implement it. Syrian refugee cities in Syria, protected by UN troops. Cost saving, and Syrians stay clise to home.
She should get a haircut so see could see what the F is really going on.
Allen! 192 states ? Do you works for the United Nations and give us a 192 states figure as foreseen by the New Word Order as obam works for?
It only takes one terrorist to completely destroy our way of life. Janet Peterson, you are an ignoramous.
Bumstad should be ashamed of himself, after all it was Ray who appointed him to his first term as governor. Viet Nam and what’s going on today are two different situations. Stand your ground Bumstad, American lives matter.
A CHALLENGE: does anybody know of a country where an influx of Muslim immigration brought benefits and stability in recent times?
There are some 192 states, come on, just one country! Or I’ll make it even easier, name ONE city, just one city where Muslim immigration brought peace, prosperity, stability…
Come one, there must be hundreds of thousands of cities around the world, just ONE single case where a non-Muslim place gets a large influx of Muslims and they start to better off.
