New Bill Lets States Reject Muslim Refugees According to recent reports, Senator Ted Cruz has just introduced legislation that strives to give governors the ability to opt out of refugee resettlement programs if they feel that their citizens are at risk. Cruz has been vocal in his belief that the federal government is not making the safety of the American people a priority. According to Cruz, this bill is a necessity. Under the new measure, if President Obama wants to send refugees to any state, a governor would have the ability to conclude that the federal government has not done a sufficient job ensuring that the safety and security of the citizens of the state will be protected. Cruzs announcement came at a news conference that he held with Republican governor Greg Abbott of Texas. Abbott was one of the first U.S. governors to call for a block on the resettlement of Syrian refugees. We are at a time of war, Cruz said at the conference. Watch his full announcement below and tell us what you think. Is Cruz a real leader?
