Governor Snyder Pens Op-ed for TIME on Syrian Refugees in Michigan

Joining half the country's governors in refusing entry to Syrian refugees in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Governor Snyder of Michigan clarified his position in a TIME op-ed on Tuesday.

Snyder says he's "paused" efforts to bring Syrian refugees into Michigan, asking the federal government to review its security procedures.
