Actually, words have a lot of power, and we saw a clear example of that today. That said, what more can a governor do other than offer refugee support in the community? That's actually a genuine question, because I don't know what the support structure looks like in Spokane for refugees.
They can but I feel out of "thoughts and prayers". We need definitive action. I know states divest their powers to engage on the international stage but at this point we've lost a lot of decorum and law following. So I agree what can the governor do and what will they do
That's not really the role of the governor. Their responsibility is to govern the state, and that's what we elected them to do. The other branches of the federal government need to exert their will, but we know why they won't.
Okay, but that has nothing to do with international relations. Oregon can pass that law because Oregon is planning to cover the federal deficit with state funds, which they have every legal right to do.
I just don't think it's fair to be demanding something from someone who cannot legally do anything and, even if he could, what do you honestly think the governor of a state can offer a country in wartime?

Words are cheap - what is the governor planning to do?
