One Huge Chart That Proves Taking In Syrian Refugees Is Not Particularly Dangerous
Governors from more than half of country are attempting to block refugees fleeing conflict in Syria from being settled in their states citing concerns that they might carry out terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Experts familiar with the issue say their fears are largely unfounded.
Evidence collected so far suggests that refugees were not involved in carrying out the gun and bomb attacks on the French capital.
