The U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program will continue its plans to resettle Syrians in Idaho regardless of the concerns expressed by more than two dozen governors this week. Governor Butch Otter was among the governors who asked President Barack Obama to suspend the program until the vetting process for all foreigners crossing U.S. borders is fully reviewed and state concerns about the program are addressed. Otter met with the White House staff via conference call last week and asked for a seat at the table to review the review the refugee program and suggest some changes to ensure terrorists are not taking advantage of the program. “He spoke with senior staff on the issue,” said Otter’s spokesman, Jon Hanian. “He was told ‘we are doing a great job, and we are not going to change the program’”/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.
