In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, several countries are rethinking their open arms policy for refugees. Not so the United States. Our Duffer-In-Chief is stubbornly insisting that we welcome Syrian refugees with open arms…and ‘quit asking questions I don’t want to answer!’

However, Governors in 30 (Democrats among them) states are refusing to accept those refugees, and members of Congress have crafted a bill to block funding for refugee resettlement. Colorado is NOT one of those states. Late Monday afternoon, CO Governor John Hickenlooper announced that Colorado will accept Syrian refugees:

“We will work with the federal government and Homeland Security to ensure the national verification processes for refugees are as stringent as possible,” he wrote in a statement. “We can protect our security and provide a place where the world’s most vulnerable can rebuild their lives.”

Needless to say, there are a growing number of Colorado residents who are incredibly unhappy with his decision. I count myself among them. And no, in spite of what one person Tweeted at me yesterday, its not because I’m against those who are truly fleeing tyranny and horror. It is because I, like so many around the world, saw the infectiveness of the refugee program writ large in Paris. 129 people are dead and well over 200 injured in the attacks. Attacks perpetrated by terrorists posing as refugees. Terrorist “refugees” who slithered into France through Greece and Turkey via refugee camps.

“This is what we had feared,” a senior French official told the Wall Street Journal.

European officials told CNN that they believe a new professional squad of terrorists is inserting itself into some of these migrant voyages.

Pope Francis had already thought about this possibility back in September. He told a Portugese radio station, “It’s true, nowadays, territorial security conditions are not the same as they were in other periods (of mass migration). … The truth is that just 400 kilometres (250 miles) from Sicily there is an incredibly cruel terrorist group. So there is a danger of infiltration, this is true,”
