Jay Nixon in Syrian Refugee Crisis

On Homeland Security: No Syrian refugees in MO; screening & safeguards needed

Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon says it's up to the federal government to screen refugees and is calling for safeguards following the attacks in Paris. But in a statement, Nixon didn't say he'd block Syrian refugees from settling in Missouri. Three Republican candidates for governor want Nixon to do so, citing safety concerns.
