(VOVworld) – At least 10 US state governors have refused the relocation of Syrian refugees to their state unless extreme security measures are implemented following the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris last week.

 The governors of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, ichigan, Mississippi, Massachusetts, and Texas said their first priority is protecting their citizens, suggesting that some of the refugees are probably terrorists.

In September, President Barack Obama called for resettling at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US in the next fiscal year.
