Refugee act of 1980(?) in the US prevents any state from refusing a refugee. It federal government jurisdiction.

Always easy to have big balls when you know ahead of time that you are just blowing smoke.

Also, despite the constant barrage in the media the identified attackers were all European nationals with valid passports. Not Refugees or guys who came in with the refugee wave. But I guarantee a very large proportion of the anti-refugee crowd doesn't know that or is ignoring it. If a big attack happened elsewhere you can all but guarantee it'll be a homegrown guy that has been in place for quite some time.

Trump is saying he isn't opposed to a Muslim database. The racism and intolerance is getting beyond stupid in republican circles.
