All over the country, Democratic mayors of more progressive cities are clashing with mostly Republican governors who say they will not allow any Syrian refugees in their states. Over half of the country's governors, thirty one in total, have pledged not to let refugees find asylum in their states, defying President Obama's promise to absorb 10,000 Syrians this year. These pledges come days after the deadly attack on Paris that left over a hundred people dead and many more injured. It was revealed that one of the attackers had entered France on a Syrian passport, posing as a refugee. Although the governors are not legally allowed to bar entry to their states for refugees, they are able to slow down the process quite a bit. Mayor of New York, Bill De Blasio, has a problem with this policy, saying he will allow Syrian refugees to take haven in New York City.
