On Foreign Policy: Provide asylum for Syrian refugees seeking safety

Democratic Gov. Jack Markell is standing by his support for President Obama's decision to provide asylum for Syrian refugees in the United States, despite Republican calls not to accept refugees in Delaware. The head of the Delaware Republican Party, along with state Sen. Colin Bonini, urged Markell not to accept Syrian refugees in the wake of the attacks in Paris. Markell responded that former Republican President Ronald Reagan was committed to welcoming those seeking safety from fear & persecution.
