Mr. Dayton
56% of Americans think we shouldn't bring these "refugees here compared to 41% who think we should so if we ever would get a vote they wouldn't be coming here. Then I get a kick out of how they say its widows and orphans. here are some facts as of 2012 we have given refugee status to little over 2100 Syrians of that 52% were males 45% females 3% children. Of the 52% males 26% are between the ages of 18-45. Then I thought well that don't seem right so I looked at 25 photos from a CNN article labelled the refugee crisis in 25 photos. I did an elementary analysis counted male female kid ratio it was about 75-80% male 15-20% female 5% kids. I watched 3 interviews with governors that said their state took in refugees but had no idea because the administration never informed them. If Obama cared about these people why has he sat on his ass last 3 years? We can't even take care of our vets which my dad is. He had cancer but instead of going to the VA which is his right he went to mayo clinic why because he said he wanted to live instead of die in a bureaucratic nightmare of waiting because the VA is so screwed up. I live on social security 3 of the last 5 years people on SS have not been given cost of living raises even though everything under the sun has increased energy bills, food, prescriptions. So here we are a huge open border to our north we all know how safe are southern border is and you sit in a sanctuary city ignoring federal immigration laws harboring illegal aliens, letting the black lives matter thugs rule the city shutting down major highways pushing our cops around. We obviously have a somalin immigration problem in Minnesota because of how great we vetted the somalin immigrants. But as you sit in OUR state house remember when we the people can get a vote we’ll be sending your ass down the road, that won’t matter to you your rich when the refugees move into your neighborhood you can afford to move.

If you think this is a good idea to bring them here, then put them in your neighborhood with your children.

We should take care of the Americans that have given up their life and limbs to keep everyone else safe..God bless them all. Do they have a warm and safe place to sleep tonight or tomorrow,and what about food in their bellies. I do feel for these people that our Government wants to help but we first need to make sure our own people are cared for.its called priority..

I believe it's in Minnesota's best interest to help our own homeless( especially our veterans ) and keep ANY chance of terrorists OUT of our state.I would like to see interment camps as we did in the '40's with the Japenese set up with the Syrian.If this makes them "uncomfortable " the could always go home.Please don't let them get a toehold in our state.

Allowing people that come from a region controlled by religious zealots intent on our destruction without any reliable way of knowing their true loyalty is naively gambling with our lives.

Bringing in more of these refugees is bringing danger to Minnesotans as well as a further burden to taxpayers. These people as well as past refugees are overwhelming our social service system and as a result we are being taxed out of our homes to pay for them. Please take care of our people first for a change!!!
