Several more governors released statements this afternoon indicating they were suspending or ending refugee resettlement programs involving Syrians.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said, “My first priority is protecting citizens of the commonwealth,” the Boston Herald reports.

According to the paper, Baker declared, “the Bay State will not accept any Syrian refugees until he is given more information from the Obama administration in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris.”

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner announced his state would “temporarily suspend” accepting new Syrian refugees.

Rauner said in a Monday statement, according to the Chicago Sun-Times:

“Our nation and our state have a shared history of providing safe haven for those displaced by conflict, but the news surrounding the Paris terror attacks reminds us of the all-too-real security threats facing America. We must find a way to balance our tradition as a state welcoming of refugees while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens. Therefore, the state of Illinois will temporarily suspend accepting new Syrian refugees and consider all of our legal options pending a full review of our country’s acceptance and security processes by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal — a Republican candidate for president — issued an executive order, barring Syrian refugees from settling in his state.

It read in part:

All departments, budget units, agencies, offices, entities, and officers of the executive branch of the State of Louisiana are authorized and directed to utilize all lawful means to prevent the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the State of Louisiana while this Order is in effect.

Fellow candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich weighed in as well, “asking” President Obama to stop resettling refugees in his state.

A “spokesperson said the Governor doesn’t believe the U.S. should accept additional Syrian refugees because security and safety issues cannot be adequately addressed,” WCMH reports.

In an emailed statement, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said:

In light of these horrific and tragic attacks, our first priority must be to protect our citizens.  Along with governors across the country, I have deep concerns about the Obama Administration’s plan to accept 10,000 or more Syrian refugees, especially given that one of the Paris attackers was reportedly a Syrian refugee.  In consultation with our Adjutant General, who also serves as my Homeland Security Advisor, it is clear that the influx of Syrian refugees poses a threat.

With this in mind, I am calling upon the President to immediately suspend the program pending a full review of its security and acceptance procedures.  The State of Wisconsin will not accept new Syrian refugees.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey issued a statement on his website:

Given the horrifying events in Paris last week, I am calling for an immediate halt in the placement of any new refugees in Arizona. As governor, I am invoking our state’s right under 8 USC, Section 1522 (a), to receive immediate consultation by federal authorities per the United States Refugee Act, and that the federal government take into account the concerns and recommendations of the state of Arizona as they are required to under federal law, in our efforts to keep our homeland safe.

Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, meanwhile, vowed to continue taking refugees, and slammed the governors who refuse to do so.

“The governors who are taking those actions are stomping on the qualities that make America great,” Shumlin said today, according to the Burlington Free Press, “which is reaching out to folks when they’re in trouble and offering them help, not hurting them.”

According to Shumlin, “It’s the spirit of all Vermonters to ensure that when you have folks who are drowning, who are dying in pursuit of freedom, that Vermont does its part.”

He defended the Obama’s administration’s screening process, calling it “rigorous.”
