and more about rejecting presumably poor people of little means who will need some gov't assistance which means Republicans paying taxes.

Aren't some of these red state governors tacitly encouraging their poor to pack up and move somewhere else by making their states inhospitable for the poor, refusing to expand Medicaid, closing women's health clinics, etc.? "You folks would be better off in Minnesota." Kansas and Texas come to mind.

If the Syrian refugees were billionaires they'd be welcomed with open arms in 50 states.
