We allow everyone in. And we end up taking care of them but not our own people. This needs to stop

We need to take care of your own homeless people and our veterans that are homeless before we bring others that will not be productive members of our society and will want us to conform to their beliefs.

This is just an dangerous thing to do. As someone else said...we already have SOOOOOO MANY homeless and welfare dependent people in our state..do we need more? It just scares me!

I think we should take care of our own in our state rather than helping another country... especially when they could possibly be terrorists due to history? We have to think of the safety of our families even if you don't personally live in the town they are putting them in!

I am appalled by your statement to me, a life-long Minnesota resident, that if I do not like Syrian refugees being settled here in Minnesota, I can leave. In light of what just happened in Paris, France, I seriously hope you have examined your position on all refugees from these Islamic countries. To allow their continued entrance into the United States is to allow for the destruction of this nation. I as a tax payer in a state with high taxes already do NOT want to have even more people living off of government aid...enough is enough!!

We have people in Minnesota who were born here worked 2 or 3 jobs their whole life and still can't make ends meet. We need to take care of our own. We need to protect our country, not allow terrorism of any kind or people associated with it. Zero tolerance.

arab countries in the region should be the ones accepting them, they are the same religion and same people, why would they not?
is there a reason that they are shunned by them?

We have been the destination for alot of refugees over the years, Somalians, mung, Mexicans. I think it's time we stop this insanity they all come here and go on welfare our health insurance and get there college paid for all on the taxpayer dime. I am sick of paying for it. Tell these people to stay in their own country and fix the problems they have and quit trying to get us to adapt to your culture and your beliefs
