States in Revolt Over Syrian Refugees

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has announced that his state will not be accepting Syrian refugees. Massachusetts joins a growing list of states that are stepping up to refuse refugees in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

 

ABC affiliated WCBV in Boston reports:

Baker said Monday the safety and security of the people of Massachusetts are his first priority and he would have to know a lot more about the federal government’s refugee vetting process before allowing them into the state.

“I would say no as of right now,” Baker said. “No, I’m not interested in accepting refugees from Syria.”

“My view on this is the safety and security of the people of the Commonwealth of Mass. is my highest priority,” he added. “So I would set the bar very high on this.”

Democratic Boston Mayor Marty Walsh also said he wants to know more.

“As a city and as a country it is not our custom to turn our backs on people who are in need and who are innocent,” Walsh said “We have yet to receive guidelines from the federal or state government on how they will move forward.”

Baker and Walsh said they have had no conversations with federal officials since the attacks.

As of now Massachusetts is the thirteenth state to announce they will not be resettling any refugees and it is expected that the list will grow.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said, “our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents.”

And Bobby Jindal announced he had “signed an Executive Order instructing state agencies to take all available steps to stop the relocation of Syrian refugees to LA.”

With reports now confirming that that at least one of the attackers was a refugee, governors are stepping up to resist the placement of refugees in their states. The fact remains that these refugees pose a real security risk and the federal government has no real way of vetting them.
