Houston Residents Weigh In On Welcoming Syrian Refugees

There's been much discussion about how to handle the wave of Syrian refugees coming to the United States.

Citing national security concerns, Texas has filed a lawsuit against the federal government to block Syrian nationals from resettling in the state. Still, others say we should welcome newcomers fleeing violence and unrest.

We asked residents across Greater Houston to share their thoughts on the issue. We heard from Caleb Rogers in Copperfield, Deanna Bhurgli in Houston and Nhi Le in the Woodlands on how they feel about welcoming refugees to the Houston area.
