The Obama administration has warned governors that they do not have the legal authority to refuse Syrian refugees.<\/p>\n
It has been revealed that\u00a0680,000 immigrants from Muslim countries have come to the U.S. in the last five years.<\/p>\n
The figure is higher than the entire population of Washington, DC, and will repeat itself in the next five years unless immigration policies are changed, according to the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0figures were released as the Office of Refugee Resettlement told resettlement officials that states cannot deny benefits and services to refugees based on their nationality or religion, meaning Syrians cannot be discriminated against.<\/p>\n
