In the article Republican Governors Want To stop Refugees From Moving Into Their States most of the United States governors are not happy with letting thousand and thousands of Syrian refugees into their states. A refugee is a person fleeing from war. A huge war is going on and about in Syria right now and most people were forced to leave to survive.
Two thousand Syrians have moved to the U.S so far. The U.S swears that they will take ten thousand more Syrians over the course of next year. The main reasons why the governors aren't happy with this idea is because they think it would be harder to find terrorists in the groups of refugees.
The U.S is worried about this because of what just happened in Paris. There was am terrorist attack and over 100 people were killed. They think that some of those terrorists would sneak in with the refugees.
Some governors think they have the power to stop the refugee program in their states. But the U.S has laws about turning down refugees. The biggest refugee act was in 1980 it is written in the act that the United States is responsible for refugee settlement.
And that the states are not allowed to strike back. But that does not stop certain states like the state of Indiana from not fighting to stop refugees coming to their states.
