Attorney General Koster’s Statement On Syrian Refugees

Attorney General Koster released the following statement regarding the Syrian refugee crisis:

“The refugee crisis has been heartbreaking and the world needs to come together to find a reasonable solution. However, I believe it is prudent to pause the admittance of refugees from Syria to allow the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and our other national security agencies to re-evaluate the screening processes to ensure we are preventing terrorists from entering our country.”
