We do not support Governor Ducey's call to halt the resettlement of refugees in Arizona.

We believe that our country and our State have the means to welcome refugees, including those from Syria and other Middle Eastern nations.

We believe in helping those in need.

We believe in opening our doors to those who face the difficult choice to stay in their homes and die or flee with the chance of survival.

Moreover, the Governor's decision is not supported by law, and we do not support his empty rhetoric that politicizes tragedy.
