If you’ve been following the refugee crisis in Syria, you’re likely aware that the war there is causing a humanitarian crisis. Many people are fleeing that crisis and have gone to Europe. The U.S. has said that it will accept 10,000 refugees in the near future. However, not everyone is happy\u00a0with that decision. Some people feel that these refugees will at best be a drain on our social welfare system and at worst may be sleeper cells for the Islamist State (ISIS)\u00a0terrorist group. Yet, some people feel that as a compassionate society, built on the backs of\u00a0immigrants, we need to accept this responsibility.<\/p>\n
Over the past few weeks many state governors (now 26+\u00a0Governors) have said they will not accept Syria refugees. I was trying to confirm my suspicions\u00a0that Utah would of course be on that list. Just listening to an interview with Representative Jason Chafetz of Utah would likely\u00a0lead\u00a0most people to that conclusion.<\/p>\n
