The argument over whether to accept more Syrian refugees after last Friday’s terrorist attacks has been more divisive than just about any we’ve seen, with some saying “no” outright, others asking what Jesus would do, and still others saying that America might as well take down the Statue of Liberty if the country begins to turn away refugees.

Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake just now: "I hope that refugees from Syria will look to our city as a potential place to call home."

@jfritze @baltimoresun Yeah, what are a few more murders a year?
