North Dakota county may become US’s 1st to bar new refugees

Good, hopefully hundreds (and thousands) more follow.

Yes, hopefully thousands more counties continue to accept refugees, yes.

Disgusting that this is even being considered, sad how far racism has gotten over basic compassion. These are refugees after all, not 'criminal illegal aliens'.

Don't care. They shouldn't be here.

Yes, deporting my brother's best man would be a totally great move, after all his job as an anaesthesiologist could be easily filled by just about any American born person.

Indeed! They’ll come over here, fleeing persecution, steal millions of American jobs, then be too lazy to work and feed off of the American taxpayers.

North Dakota is stagnant no matter what policies it enacts until another oil boom happens.

North Dakota and its 800,000 morons don’t deserve two senators. Time to merge it with South Dakota and have two less Republican clowns in the Senate.

Grassr00ts, if you're so concerned about birthrates, you should be against the ongoing austerity preventing young people from having the available funds to start a family. With more and more young people surrounded by rising debt and weak income growth, while they work to the bone with little support system, it’s no wonder why people are waiting longer to start a family if at all.

However, since you yourself previously stated austerity is actually good and your continued support for union busters, this situation is what happens instead.

Burleigh County actually isn't stagnant at all, and wasn't even before the oil boom, it's gained population every census since ND was a state. Of course a good chunk of that is internal migration, people moving there from rural ND.

They never should have been two states to begin with! Merge Montana and Wyoming too while we're at it.

And before anyone says "what about Delaware and Vermont?!" Merge Delaware with Pennsylvania and Vermont with New Hampshire. I'd be more than fine with that.
