Legislation has passed the United States House aiming to slow or halt the flow of Syrian refugees into the country following the terrorist attacks in Paris.

President Obama, earlier in the year, announced the U.S. would accept up to 10,000 refugees. Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt was one of 18 Mayors who said their cities were prepared to accept even more refugees.

North Carolina Fourth District U.S. Congressman David Price spoke with WCHL’s Blake Hodge about the legislation that passed the House, the current vetting process the refugees go through and what role he feels the United States should play in the refugee crisis. Listen below:

 

After the Parisian attacks, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory joined nearly half the governors from across the country to ask that refugees not be reestablished in their states.
