Texas, the beacon for refugees

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered that no Syrian refugees be allowed in the state and filed a law suit to that effect. Yet, the state resettled 2,677 refugees — more than any other state — between October and March. While most of the refugees who came to Texas from October to March are from Myanmar, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia, eighty-two Syrians have come to Texas so far this fiscal year.
