GOVERNOR MARTINEZ DOES NOT “BUY” THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S PLAN TO BRING 10-THOUSAND SYRIAN REFUGEES INTO THE U-S. SHE’S JOINED OTHER REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR WHO SAY THEY WON’T ACCEPT ANY OF THOSE REFUGEES IN THEIR STATES. GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SAYS SHE WON’T DO IT UNTIL SHE GETS WORD FROM THE FEDS THAT THERE’S A PLAN IN PLACE TO PROPERLY VET AND LOCATE THOSE REFUGEES.
IMMIGRATION EXPERTS SAY GOVERNORS CANNOT LEGALLY BLOCK THE REFUGEES FROM BEING BROUGHT IN UNDER THE REFUGEE ACT OF 1980.
