In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States has become highly controversial.

KCTS 9’s Enrique Cerna takes up the refugee resettlement issue, the facts surrounding the process and concerns of Muslim-Americans with former Washington Governor Dan Evans, Bob Johnson, the International Rescue Committee Executive Director- U.S. Programs/Seattle, and Arsalan Bukhari, Executive Director of the Washington State Chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations.
