According to an article on the Coloradoan, Colorado Governor, John Hickenlooper has said that “We will work with the federal government and Homeland Security to ensure the national verification processes for refugees are as stringent as possible.

What are your thoughts on this situation? Should Colorado continue to accept Syrian refugees in a time like this or should our state and the rest of the United States follow suit and suspend accepting refugees for the time being?
