A Judge’s Message to the Xenophobes
A ruling in Indiana involving Syrian refugees is the first to address substantively the attempt by some governors to exploit the terrorism issue."The fact is, the refugee resettlement program in this country involves a cautiously paced investigative process that contrasts sharply with the uncontrollable floods of refugees in Europe that Republican politicians are using to arouse terrorist fears in this country. Over three million people fleeing persecution and war have been investigated and welcomed to the United States in the last four decades. Syrian refugees must be no less welcome."
