Red State Democrat Governors Approve More Refugees for Their States
Breitbart ^ | Dec 22, 2019 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 12/22/2019 4:17:30 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Democrat governors representing red states such as Kentucky, North Carolina, Montana, and Kansas have approved more refugee resettlement in 2020 for their states.

For Fiscal Year 2020, President Donald Trump will continue cutting refugee admissions by reducing former President Barack Obama’s refugee inflow by at least 80 percent. This reduction would mean a maximum of 18,000 refugees can be resettled in the U.S. between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020. This is merely a numerical limit and not a goal federal officials are supposed to reach.

Coupled with the refugee reduction, Trump signed an executive order that gives localities, counties, and states veto power over the resettlement of refugees in their communities.

The newly-elected Democrat Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, has formally asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to continue resettling refugees into the state. Likewise, Democrat governors such as Steve Bullock, Roy Cooper, and Laura Kelly representing red states such as Montana, North Carolina, and Kansas have approved more refugees for resettlement.

“North Carolina was one of the first states to welcome refugees to the United States after the United States Refugee Act was signed into law in 1980,” Cooper wrote in his letter to Pompeo, asking for more refugee resettlement. “Our state has a strong network of community and faith-based groups which aid in the resettlement of refugees who seek safety from persecution.”

Also asking for more refugees is Republican Governor of Iowa, Kim Reynolds, joining Republican governors Bill Lee of Tennessee, Doug Ducey of Arizona, Doug Burgum of North Dakota, and Gary Herbert of Utah.

For months, organizations with ties to billionaire George Soros have carried out a pressure campaign on Republican governors, who have readily caved, to ask that refugees continue being resettled.

“This is what the voters get when they vote for these Dems. SMH.”

And it is also what you get when you elect a Republican governor.

Trump has the executive authority to cut refugee re-settlement to zero.

Over the last 30 years, the USA has accepted more refugees than the rest of the world combined!

Cut it to zero, President Trump.

“North Carolina welcomes refugees” Gov Cooper wrote, asking for more refugee resettlement.
"Our state has a strong network of community and faith-based groups to resettle refugees.”

TRANSLATED FROM DEMOCRAP-ESE:
"We need more refugees. We herd them in groups to hand-picked areas in need of Democrat votes.
The govt will pay refugees well to do the bidding of Democrats every election.
Shackled to the Democrat party, refugees pull levers for Democrat candidates.

Also engaging in human trafficking of Democrat voters are the newly-elected Democrat Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, has formally asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to continue resettling refugees into the state. Likewise, Democrat governors such as Steve Bullock, Roy Cooper, and Laura Kelly representing red states such as Montana, North Carolina, and Kansas have approved more refugees for resettlement.

There is a difference between refugees and the folks coming over the border.

Refugees are vetted in a foreign country and brought here by a sponsoring agency with resources on this side to support them. They are generally better educated than those coming over the border and become self sufficient and productive citizens.

Add Oklahoma to that list. We got rid of Mary Fallin and got her brother from another mother. Meanwhile Oklahoma is being invaded by filth from liberal states. The globalist cartel run by the bushes, klintons and soros is advancing full steam ahead.

Sorry. I just saw “red state” and failed to mention our state’s (Oklahoma) new governor RINO Stitt did the same thing. He’s as bad as a RAT.

Oklahoma also has a newly elected Repugnant governor. He did the same as his Tennessee counterpart. I loathe the RINO party.

“”Refugees are vetted in a foreign country and brought here by a sponsoring agency with resources on this side to support them. They are generally better educated than those coming over the border and become self sufficient and productive citizens””

Better talk to the natural born citizens of MN and other states. Sponsoring agency? Sure - and then what? Who is on the hook for supporting them when the time limit that’s put on the support is gone? Are you a taxpayer? Do you enjoy/approve of your city/county/state being in the spot of taking over their support from thereon out? Which means you that’s on the hook!! Governments have NO MONEY. They only have what they take from taxpayers! You’re not paying attention if you think refugees pay their own way!

There will be few if any states, Democrat or Republican governors that will totally refuse refugees.

America is dying in front of our eyes. We are going to have to manage what is left and it will have to be a fight.

So why do you think it is a good idea to take them out of their home country where they could do good?
