I submit the following letter from Governor Greg Abbott: Hon. BARACK OBAMA. President of the United States. Washington. DC. DEAR PRESIDENT OBAMA: As governor of Texas. I write to inform you that the State of Texas will not accept any refugees from Syria in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in Paris. Further. I and millions of Americansimplore you to halt your plans to accept more Syrian refugees in the United States. A Syrian "refugee" appears to have been part of the Paris terror attack. American humanitarian compassion could be exploited to expose Americans to similar deadly danger. The reasons for such concerns are plentiful.
