STATEMENT FROM SENATOR JOHN BONACIC REGARDING SYRIAN REFUGEES
November 17, 2015
(Middletown, NY)-“I am calling on Governor Cuomo to join with the Governors from 28 states to oppose the relocation of Syrian refugees to New York State until we can ensure, with 100% certainty, that there are no individuals who pose a threat to the safety of New Yorkers among the refugees. We are a state comprised of immigrants from across the globe and that diversity makes our state stronger, but we cannot allow political correctness to put the safety of our families at risk.”
