  > If the governors can find a way to refuse health insurance to millions of their residents to spite the feds, they can certainly "refuse" refugees by some method, if only holding it up in courts for a year or two. Well, holding it up in courts has them losing until a decision is made, since they don't have actual physical control of immigration (this is sort of the opposite of the case with Medicaid expansion, where they had to actively do something to achieve it, and so, even if the cases challenging it hadn't been decided before the mandate went into effect, they could have effectively stalled it until the a decision.)
