From the AP:

COLUMBUS – Gov. Ted Strickland on Wednesday had a message for President Bush: any plan to relocate thousands of refugees uprooted by the Iraq war to the United States shouldn’t include Ohio.
The Bush administration plans to allow about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to settle in the United States over the next year.
There is mounting international pressure to help millions who have fled their homes in the nearly 4-year-old war.
The United States has allowed only 463 Iraq refugees into the country since the war began in 2003, even though some 3.8 million have been uprooted.
Strickland, a Democrat who opposed the war as a U.S. House member, said Ohioans cannot be expected to have open arms for Iraqis displaced by the war.
More than 100 Ohioans have been killed in the war.
