Governors say no to Syrian refugees: Is the screening process adequate?
In the wake of the Paris attacks, at least 17 US governors say they will not resettle Syrian refugees in their states until their public safety concerns are addressed.

I'm heading home to IN

Both states to my north, the state to my West, East and South, and MY state are saying NO WAY WE DON'T WANT THEM.

I am so happy about going home!!!

Not too sure they honestly have the power to say no. BUT....taking a stand is exactly what they need to do. They were voted in by the people of their state....they need to DO what the people of their State want done. I haven't been crazy about much that has gone on in my State or National government in years.....but I agree with my governor on this one!! At least he had the gall to stand up against the Feds on this! Only time will tell on how well it works.
