As of Monday November 16, the GOP is 'bashing' President Obama and his allowing Syrian refugees in the United States. Since the recent Paris terrorist attacks, the Democratic party has been put on the defense after reports that one of the terrorists involved in the attacks entered Europe as part of the wave of Syrians fleeing civil war. In response, Obama stated that the United States has to remain committed to its values of tolerance and accepting immigrants in the country.
"The people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism," Obama said in Antalya, Turkey, at a meeting of the G20. "It is very important ... that we do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism."
Republicans are however stressing and advocating for the importance of national security. The large influx of war-ton immigrants into the country has risen numerous security concerns, which has subsequently led GOP lawmakers and governors to announce that they would not allow Syrian refugees into their states and are encouraging stronger control of the U.S. borders.
What do you guys think? Close up the borders to Syrian refugees? Or should we continue to allow immigrants into the U.S., especially those fleeing war-torn countries?

Syria is in a time of need and The united States is willing to help but What I wonder is where are they going to be in the US and who is going to pay for them are they going to get jobs ? take away jobs? ITs a tough issue that I can't seem to figure out but the Parties in Congress need to figure it out soon.
