Mike Pence the Republican governor of the U.S. state of Indiana using all his powers of hate and racism forced a Syrian family of 3 who'd been waiting 3 years to resettle in the U.S. to change their plans after his state's division of Family Resources sent a letter to Exodus Refugee Immigration which is working to help the family resettle was told the state would offer no assistance to the family in question. Like 28 other Republican and 1 Democratic governor they've decided that racism, hatred and fear trump humanitarian assistance to those feeling the terror of not only ISIS but of President Bashar Assad's government.
These Republican politicians are fueling the hatred, racism and physical attacks on those they view as terrorist simply for being Muslims.
A family of Syrian refugees destined for resettlement in Indiana was denied entry to the state and instead began a new life in Connecticut on Wednesday.
The family of three – a mother, father and their five-year-old son – had been waiting three years to move to Indiana before their placement was changed, a consequence of the growing tensions in the wake of the Paris attacks that Syrian refugees could pose a threat to national security.The governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, is one of at least 30 governors who have said they do not want to resettle Syrian refugees in their state even though they do not have the authority to refuse to do so.
Rather than starting a new life in Indianapolis, the family will settle in New Haven, Connecticut.
