“No more Syrian refugees in Michigan” – Gov. Rick Snyder

Many outraged, but gov says safety key concern after attacks in Paris

Snyder’s office released a statement Sunday saying the state would not be accepting any Syrian refugees until the U.S. Department of Homeland Security fully reviewed its procedures.

“Michigan is a welcoming state and we are proud of our rich history of immigration,” Snyder said in the statement. “But our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents.”
