Migrant boat overturns, killing 8

Europe faces a massive refugee crisis.

Congressman Richard Neal commented on the possibility of allowing more Syrian refugees into MA.

However, since the attacks in Paris, the governors of Alabama, MI and at least 23 other states are now saying they will not allow refugees in their states. Snyder, who said that refugees who have cleared security hurdles have something to offer economically and culturally, had been talking with federal officials about what the state can do about accepting more people.

Before the attacks in Paris on Friday, Carolina Journal in Raleigh asked the governor’s office whether it had any security concerns about the Syrian refugees that come into North Carolina and the U.S.

“Obviously in light of the tragedy in Paris, we have questions about the Department of Homeland Security’s screening measures for refugees entering our country”. “We are deeply disturbed by language that demonises refugees as a group”.

He also pointed out that it can take up to 24 months for a Syrian refugee to move to the United States because of lengthy security checks-the very security checks he wants reviewed in the wake of the Paris attacks.

The Carolina Journal reports that North Carolina had been expecting fewer than 270 additional Syrian refugees.

For Majed Moughni, a 45-year-old lawyer from Dearborn, who arrived in the United States as a child, fleeing the civil war in Lebanon, it is important that the United States be cautious, but not exclude particular ethnicities or religions, nor close its doors to refugees.

The Refugee Act of 1980 created a streamlined process for the resettlement of refugees and outlined federal authority. “Isn’t that part of being a good Michigander?” he said earlier.

Joel Millman, spokesman for the worldwide Organization for Migration (IOM), told global media that if a solution is not found to the five-year-old Syrian war, at least another 1 million Syrian refugees would leave the war-torn country.

The Syrian civil war is driving millions of Syrians out of the country as they seek a safe haven.

“Our emphasis is on admitting the most vulnerable Syrians – particularly survivors of violence and torture, those with severe medical conditions, and women and children – in a manner that is consistent with US national security”, it said.

Never mind that several of the terrorists in Paris appear to have been French nationals, including one who was still at large on Monday.
