From: Bustamante, Jeri To: jessica [email protected] Cc: Schenone, Lauren Date: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 12:16:28 PM Q: Were you on the White House call? Was it helpful? · Yes, I was on the call. The Obama Administration is STILL NOT GIVING US ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. · The President wants us to trust their vetting process but has given us little faith that they can properly check the background of every refugee coming into our country. · It is troubling that we cannot get information on the refugees they are sending to our states so we can make the best decision for our residents. Q: Why are you joining other governors who are blocking Syrian refugees from entering your state? · FIRST – My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims in last week’s terror attacks in Paris. You cannot imagine anything like this happening and our president needs to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE THE THREAT OF ISIS. · We know that at least one of the terror suspects posed as a Syrian refugee to get into France. · AND IT IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING that President Obama is letting refugees into our country without understanding the risk these individuals may pose to our national security. Q: What are you asking the Federal Government to do? · The state can only do so much and we need Congress to step in and take immediate action to stop the President from using ANY FEDERFAL TAX DOLLARS to fund the relocation of up to 425 Syrian refugees to Florida. · AGAIN, THIS IS INCREDIBLE CONCERNING AND WE CANNOT AFFORD ANY TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN OUR NATION.

Thanks. “President Obama is in a hurry to relocate 10,000 Syrian refugees to America. It is now possible that at least two of the Paris attackers posed as Syrian refugees. The Governor wants to get more information about this population and has specifically pin pointed the Obama Administration’s rush to put 10,000 Syrian refugees in the United States as a security threat to our country. That is the problem the Governor wants to address immediately – not the decades-old system for accepting people who are fleeing the communist dictatorship of Cuba. As it pertains to the Cuban Adjustment Act, we know there are congressional members looking at making reforms.” Jeri Bustamante Office of Governor Rick Scott [email protected] (850) 544-2800 www.FLGov.com From: Governor Rick Scott To: A.
