FINALLY: This Texas City Just Said, ‘ENOUGH’ on Middle East ‘Refugees’

This Texas city just decided to put a halt to Obama’s massive refugee overhaul — and it’s awesome. Would you want to live in a city that is doing the same?

A city in the Texas Panhandle says “enough already” when it comes to resettling refugees from the Middle East.

The city of Amarillo now sports the dubious title of having the country’s highest ratio of refugees from Middle East nations. City officials are asking for a halt to the resettlement of these refugees because of the negative impact on their community.

Amarillo is now home to more than 1,000 refugees from the Middle East. This gives the city the highest ratio of refugees in the nation, Watchdog.org’s Kenric Ward reported. This has created problems for city and school officials.

City of Amarillo officials are working on a plan to halt the placement of these refugees in their community. “We’ve been a giving community, and it’s a huge disservice to bring in refugees in numbers that we’re not able to handle. We create small ghettos,” Amarillo Mayor Paul Harpole told Ward.
