On Immigration: Stop allowing Syrian refugees into the US

Hassan said that the government should stop resettling Syrian refugees in the U.S. Her spokesman, William Hinkle, told the New Hampshire Union Leader "The Governor has made clear that we must ensure robust refugee screening to protect American citizens and the Governor believes that the federal government should halt acceptance of refugees from Syria until intelligence and defense officials can assure that the process for vetting all refugees is as strong as possible."

Hassan is challenging Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte for her Senate seat. Ayotte's spokeswoman Liz Johnson told The Daily Beast that the senator thinks the government should stop accepting Syrian refugees for the time being. She said that's because the Feds cannot guarantee with complete certainty that none of the refugees currently being resettled here are affiliated with ISIS.
