Treglia Community House offers assistance to newly arriving immigrants or refugees from other countries. And they dont agree with closing our state to those in crisis in syria. Wesley bell, mary j. Treglia house says, its counter productive to what we are trying to do to our counity. We are trying to help immigrants esepcially refugee immigrants get away from violent war torn areas like syria to become better people.

Governor branstad says he will not hold up the welcome sign for any refugees from syria and ordered all state agencies to to halt any work on syrian Refugee Resettlements immediately. Branstad i dont want people coming here without very careful vetting to make sure theres no liklihood they could be radicalized or part of an isis operation. Judy but t tslam the door, its an over reatctctn. I think its irrational, i think it lacks a humanitarian perspective. And because the governor and the states dont have the auority to stop the u. S.
