ROCKINGHAM — After a wave of terror attacks left more than 120 people dead in Paris last week, Richmond County’s congressman wants to put a hold on the Obama administration’s acceptance of 10,000 refugees from war-torn Syria.
House GOP leaders are coalescing behind a bill authored by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) that would temporarily halt President Obama’s plan to allow thousands of Syrian refugees into the U.S.
Gov. Pat McCrory on Monday called on President Barack Obama to stop sending Syrian refugees to North Carolina until authorities ensure none of them are terrorists.
McCrory’s announcement in a news conference in Charlotte followed statements by the Republican governors of more than one dozen states they won’t accept Syrian refugees, because of the Paris attacks.
