Led by Governor Sam Brownback, the state of Kansas informed the Obama administration this week that it is defying its dictates for Kansas to cooperate in the resettlement of refugees from Syria, The New American website reports today (April 29, 2016).
In a letter to Robert Carey, director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, Brownback wrote, "The State of Kansas hereby withdraws its Refugee Resettlement Program State Plan and terminates its participation in all federal refugee resettlement grants and programs, effective at the earliest possible date."
Brownback added that he was taking this action to "protect the safety and security interests of the State of Kansas."
In other words, Brownback fears that some of the Syrian refugees may actually be Islamic State (IS) terrorists pretending to be "refugees" -- as was the case in the Paris terrorist attacks that killed 130 innocent people last November -- and a thorough background check of each refugee must be conducted before accepting refugees.
