Jeff Colyer discusses the situation in Syria and how the U.S. should be involved.

Church leaders have offered their support for the plight of Syrian refugees but have been reluctant to openly criticize the Catholic governor of the state, Sam Brownback, for his executive order designed to keep Syrian refugees out of the state.
