On Immigration: Rejecting Syrian refugee stomps on American greatness

Gov. Peter Shumlin says his colleagues across the nation who say they won't allow Syrian refugees into their states are "stomping on the qualities that make America great." Shumlin says there is an extensive screening process in place for refugees. Since 1989, about 7,000 refugees have been resettled in Vermont. While none of them are from Syria, there are plans to settle a small number in the state during the current fiscal year.
