Minnesota's delegation falls sharply partisan on aid and U.S. placement for Syrians

WASHINGTON – Minnesota’s congressional Democrats are urging President Obama to do more to help Syrians — including allowing more of those seeking refuge into the United States — as millions flee their war-ravaged country.

Minnesota’s Republicans on Capitol Hill are expressing more caution, and demanding assurances that those allowed into the country are ­thoroughly vetted and will not threaten the nation’s security. They also blame Obama for not intervening in the civil war earlier.
