Alabama Will Refuse Syrian Refugees

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) announced he “would refuse the relocation of Syrian refugees to the state in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday,” the Birmingham News reports.

Said Bentley: “After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. As your governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.”
