States refuse to accept Syrian refugees after Paris attacks
Play
The
governors of Alabama and Michigan said Sunday they would accept any
refugees from Syria in their states, amid concerns about “gaping holes”
impacting America’s screening process.

The
governors of Alabama, Michigan, Indiana and Texas are among at least a
dozen of those challenging Obama over refugees. They are sending a
strong message to President Obama saying they won’t allow their states
to receive any more Syrian refugees in light of the recent attack in Paris by ISIS.
Reports that at least one of the Paris attackers slipped through
Europe’s immigration system, as well as concerns about ‘gaping holes’
impacting America’s screening process are the reasons for the decision,
stated Fox News Monday
In light of the attacks, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Monday that he sent a letter to President Obama informing him that Texas will not take any Syrian refugees.
Abbott joins a growing list of governors who have said they will not resettle Syrian refugees. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson tweeted, "As Governor I will oppose Syrian refugees being located to Arkansas." Michigan has a large Arab-American population. According to Breitbart, Michigan has reportedly taken in roughly 2,000 refugees, 200 of which were Syrian.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said Sunday he was putting his prior calls for accepting more refugees on hold until the Department of Homeland Security reviewed its screening procedures.
After reports emerged that refugees from Syria were recently taken into his state, GOP presidential candidate Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is looking for answers from the Obama administration.
In light of the attacks, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Monday that he sent a letter to President Obama informing him that Texas will not take any Syrian refugees.
"Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity," Abbott wrote. "As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril."

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said Sunday he was putting his prior calls for accepting more refugees on hold until the Department of Homeland Security reviewed its screening procedures.
“Michigan is a welcoming state and we are proud of our rich history of immigration,” Snyder announced in a statement. “But our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents.” He added, “It’s also important to remember that these attacks are the efforts of extremists and do not reflect the peaceful ways of people of Middle Eastern descent here and around the world.”
After reports emerged that refugees from Syria were recently taken into his state, GOP presidential candidate Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is looking for answers from the Obama administration.
“Louisiana has been kept in the dark about those seeking refuge in the state,” Jindal stated in a letter to Obama. “It is irresponsible and severely disconcerting to place individuals, who may have ties to ISIS, in a state without the state’s knowledge or involvement. … As governor of Louisiana, I demand information.”
