3. That's the Benited States of Carson

Not the U.S.A.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. Come back New England, come back!

Apparently the New England states are getting a jump on leaving the United States at the prospect of a Ben Carson presidency.

[geardaddy]

8. Ha!

Right?!

11. Thanks. I just shared it.

[geardaddy]

13. ...

You're welcome!

[uppityperson]

27. Thank you, shared on

7. Push polls on geo-political issues always leads to absurd results because of absurdly misinformed

Americans.

[geardaddy]

10. Agreed.

We should be opening our doors to the refugees. As my governor said, it's not like they're going to be able to walk in. They still have to go through security screens, etc.

[drray23]

9. Mc auliffe said we would keep accepting refugees in virginia.nt.

[geardaddy]

12. I don't necessarily think the map is accurate

It's just a good indication of the number states who are outright denying access to refugees.

[geardaddy]

14. Kick

[Fritz Walter]

15. Sadly, I live in one of those red states

With the cartoonishly evil character, Rick Scott, as Guber in chief. He does NOT speak for me.

As if their impotence in foreign policy has any real impact other than pandering to the knuckle-dragging, lizard-brained reactionary base to which they're trying to appease.

[pinstikfartherin]

16. I do as well.

Douchenozzle Robert Bentley does not speak for me....but judging by my facebook posts, he does for so many others around here. Sad but not surprising.

[geardaddy]

18. I luckily live in MN where refugees come to make a new safe life. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

17. Here in Alaska we've been told that it's unlikely any Syrian refugees will be sent here

since we don't have the facilities to care for people who have been tortured and have PTSD, but our governor has stated that we will not turn anyone away. It's our Congressional delegation that's bugging out about it, following the Republican line.

[geardaddy]

19. Here in MN

we have the Center for Victims of Torture. That's why we have many refugees

28. thunderous applause for that link

[geardaddy]

37. Thanks!

[Qutzupalotl]

20. Oregon should be green.

[geardaddy]

22. I got this off of Facebook

I can't vouch for the veracity of the map. I just posted it because of the legend describing the Gooper states denying refugees access to their states was apt.

[mcranor]

21. Oregon should be Green

[geardaddy]

24. Thanks for pointing that out.

and for the link to the article.

[passiveporcupine]

23. I wish Oregon would go green

We have room for them here.

OK, just noticed the post above mine. Good!

And just to clarify for all the states that are red, that is the leadership speaking, not necessarily the people.

[geardaddy]

25. +1

Just thought the legend was apt.

[denverbill]

26. Wait Hickenlooper from Colorado said we would take refugees. CO should be green.

[xloadiex]

29. Our Repugnacan Gov Bruce Rauner

Does not speak for me or anyone I know. He is hated here in Chicago along with his "Democratic" wife. Her affiliation was nothing more than a prop for him.

Chicago's City Council on Wednesday passed a resolution welcoming Syrian refugees and reaffirming "Chicago's status as a sanctuary city."

30. Cowards. nt

31. Until we have a good vetting process, I think at this time, especially after Paris,

it is prudent to be on the defensive. In fact, it may be the states taking refugees which are surrendering. imho

Just read an article on Yahoo that five men with stolen passports have been detained in Honduras after a long trip through many countries with the intent of traveling to the U.S. They planned to 'hoof it' through Guatemala and Mexico. Seems logical they would enter the U.S. into Texas. I live in Texas and know that there are many who come across the border that we don't have a clue as to their backgrounds or whereabouts today. I don't think we need to add to that number. If that makes me a bad person wanting to protect fellow Texans, so be it. Call me what you want.

edit: spelling

[PatrynXX]

32. need to update that map to Daesh indeed

think IA/MO are in there too

[rurallib]

33. guess where the tough guy repug governors are

[NewJeffCT]

34. CT was one of the first states to welcome them

so, that makes me proud

[liberal from boston]

35. REFUGEES

Congrats CT. Sooo upset w/my state Massachusetts. GOP Governor Charlie Baker gave press conference stating that his concern is for the safety of MA citizens. Hoping Cardinal O'Malley & other Religious leaders will speak up. Governor Baker is no Deval Patrick.

[freshwest]

36. My state gave 'em the bird. FWIW. Seems to be some arguments about the map.

But thanks anyway, it gave me a laugh.

[pampango]

38. Daesh wants to create fear. Republicans routinely peddle fear.

Daesh and republicans are good for each other.
