See The 8 US States That Opened Its Borders To Syrian Refugees

The list of US governors who reject the resettlement of Syrian refugees in their states, citing security concerns after last week’s attacks in Paris, has grown to at least 27. But a few states—including Utah, California, and Vermont—have said they will welcome Syrian refugees.

Utah, which has resettled just 12 Syrians over the last five years, anticipates a few hundred more coming to the state in 2016, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Other states that have outright said yes to accepting refugees include Pennsylvania, Delaware, California, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, and Connecticut.
