Pence’s Press Secretary Praises Trump for Proper Security Measures That Enabled Indiana to “Settle”

She went on to state that it was because of Trump’s leadership that Indiana could “settle” the matter. “When the now-Vice President was serving as governor he directed all state agencies to stop resettling Syrian refugees in Indiana until the federal government could provide credible assurances that proper security measures are in place. Now, under President Trump’s leadership, proper security measures are being implemented – it makes sense that Indiana would settle.”
