Gov. Dannel Malloy says the state of Connecticut will continue to accept more than 1,600 refugees from Syria. This comes as governors in several other states announced they would stop accepting them. In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, criticism from American politicians has mounted to end the flow of refugees coming from war-torn Syria. Malloy downplayed any security threat from incoming refugees, describing them as "a small number" and added they were, "a number over which you could do a lot of security background checks and that sort of thing.” Malloy said he is monitoring the state's transit hubs, like train stations and Bradley Airport, and said travelers could expect to see heightened presences in some places. Malloy said we should be safe. The Governor says on the other hand, America has always had a big heart.
