Following in the footsteps of Monday’s CBS This Morning, the CBS Evening News featured on Tuesday a segment sounding the alarm on opposition to the U.S. accepting Syrian refugees with the comparison that those Syrians who have settled in the U.S. are facing “another brewing problem” in those opposed to their settlement (after having survived the horrors of the Assad regime). 

Anchor Scott Pelley touted the support of the refugees by President Obama and French President Francois Hollande but added that “opponents say that terrorists could hide among the migrants.” He then tossed to correspondent Adriana Diaz with a “look into the controversy in Kentucky” as new refugees mark their first Thanksgiving in the U.S.
