Rick Snyder in Syrian Refugee Crisis

On Immigration: Welcome Syrian refugees to Michigan, after full review

Gov. Rick Snyder had bucked many fellow Republican leaders by welcoming refugees to Michigan, which has a large Arab-American population. But he said Sunday that the state is postponing efforts to accept refugees until federal officials fully review security procedures and clearances. Snyder said that while he is proud of the state's history of immigration, its "first priority is protecting the safety of our residents." Source: ABC News on Syrian Refugee Crisis Nov 16, 2015
