The state has confirmed the policy changes we sought regarding our borders and refugee placement. This outcome reflects a profound collective commitment to the security of our communities. I ask that we remain vigilant as these new measures take effect in the coming months.

Refugee and immigration policies are jeopardizing our national security and subjecting our citizens to preventable mass casualties, death and destruction. The series of attacks in Paris and recent bombing of the Russian jetliner are brutal reminders that Western Civilization is at war with the Islamic States. Regardless of identity or location of the terror group or terrorists, the jihadi mission must be contained and destroyed.

This petition respectfully request the following actions:

  • Senators Blumenthal and Murphy withdraw support of Syrian refugee placement within the U.S. and Connecticut.
  • Senators Blumenthal and Murphy support an immediate freeze on all immigration into the country until our borders are secured and policies are implemented that will physically protect Americans.
  • Governor Malloy rescinds all state aid to sanctuary cities and enforces existing immigration laws.
  • Governor Malloy and Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy protect the lives and liberties of the citizens of our state and our country from the threat of Islamic Jihad.

Reaching one hundred signatures marks a significant point in our effort to address these critical security concerns. It is encouraging to see that so many hold a shared commitment to the safety and protection of our state. This initial momentum provides a firm foundation as I prepare to present our position to the governor and our senators.

I recently heard an interesting suggestion for Syrian refugees: Only allow entrance in Accountability Groups. Group size 10 -12. If one goes bad, WHOLE GROUP is deported. Mutual benefits, mutual responsibility. I bet you'd pick your members carefully!

The vetting process is woefull yinadequate and in addition only Muslims are being selected to be brought in our Country and State. What about the Christians who are the truly unprotected group and who are not part of the UN camps at all.

To much tension around all this. Too much strain on CT citizens pockets already because this will end up being a burden all of us who pay taxes. No refugees. Bad enough Malloy is screwing companies and especially the Hospitals in this state.

When the FBI admits that there is no way to vet all refugees, and when we know that at least two of the Paris terrorists gained entry into Europe by infiltrating groups of refugees, it is no longer wise to accept refugees without question.

We don't need them in our state..we can't even take care of our own homeless /vets who fought for this country. ..the Governor does not have the right to make that decision without a vote from the Connecticut residents who also pay his salary
