In light of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, many Americans have shared their thoughts and prayers for those affected. But in the same breath they have condemned the thousands of refugees fleeing from terrorist attacks, one being governor-elect Matt Bevin. Bevin said he would keep Syrian refugees from entering Kentucky.
“I do believe that many governors are using this to score cheap political points,” Arabic and Islamic Studies, International studies and French sophomore Nadia Almasalkhi said. “It is worrying that some people like our governor-elect Matt Bevin don’t understand how federalism and the constitution work.”
Currently, 31 governors have made statements opposing the admission of Syrian refugees to their states according to CNN.
