ICYMI: Governor Abbott Discusses Rejection Of Syrian Refugee Resettlement Program On The Real Story

November 17, 2015 | Austin, Texas | Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today appeared on Fox News' "The Real Story" with host Gretchen Carlson to discuss his decision to reject President Obama's plan to relocate Syrian refugees in the United States. On Monday, Governor Abbott sent a letter to President Obama informing him that Texas will not be accepting refugees from Syria.

“Texas has done more than its fair share of accepting people that you've seen stream across our borders,” said Governor Abbott in the interview. “We've had three ISIS related incidents already and now with the possible connection of one of the Syrian refugees being involved in the terrorist attack in Paris, Texas is saying 'no more.' We will not allow anymore Syrian refugees into the State of Texas.”
