More than half of the nation’s governors have moved to at least temporarily block Syrian refugees from resettling in their states, according to a tally compiled by The Hill.
The 28 governors — 27 Republicans and one Democrat — have indicated they want to prioritize the safety of residents in their states amid heightened fears of international terrorism.
Many of them have called on the federal government to review its screening process as President Obama moves forward with plans to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. over the next year.
The Obama administration has suggested the governors don't have the authority to turn away the refugees, and some Republicans have acknowledged that could be an issue.
But the mounting pressure from the governors could spur action in Congress to halt the refugee program.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday that the House is likely to vote this week on legislation that would temporarily halt the resettlement plan to ensure that the vetting process is sufficiently thorough.
