Texas is taking a stand against the resettlement of Muslims from the Middle East in the Lone Star State by the Obama administration. Just this week, it was discovered that several in the state government have refused to resettle refugees from the Middle East until those in central government in Washington can guarantee they are not a security threat.

The Houston Chronicle reports:

A two-page letter from Charles Smith, executive commissioner of the state Health and Human Services Commission, dated Monday advises the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement of the state's decision not to allow additional refugee resettlements "without assurances from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security and the Director of Nati0nal Intelligence that the refugees do not pose a security threat to our citizens."
