Source WND: Idaho Gov. “Butch” Otter issued a statement Nov. 23 asking President Obama to halt the refugee resettlement program, at least until there is a more serious vetting process in place to screen out terrorists.

“While I understand that immigration and refugee resettlement are authorized under federal law, I am duty-bound to do whatever I can to protect the people of Idaho from harm,” Otter wrote in a letter.

Nevertheless, Otter pledged “to use any legal means available to me to protect the citizens I serve.”
