Red State Democrat Governors Approve More Refugees for Their State
By: Breitbart, December 23, 2019
Democrat governors representing red states such as Kentucky, North Carolina, Montana, and Kansas have approved more refugee resettlement in 2020 for their states.
Story continues below advertisementFor 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. Likewise, in states like Iowa and North Dakota, the big business lobby and donors have continuously claimed they need more refugees to fill jobs.
Refugee contractors have a vested interest in making sure as many refugees are resettled across the U.S. as possible because their annual federally-funded budgets are contingent on the number of refugees they resettle. Those refugee contractors include:
Church World Service (CWS), Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC), Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM), Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), International Rescue Committee (IRC), U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS), U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), and World Relief Corporation (WR).
The federally mandated refugee resettlement program has brought more than 718,000 refugees to the U.S. since January 2008 — a group larger than the entire state population of Wyoming, which has 577,000 residents. In the last decade, about 73,000 refugees have been resettled in California, 71,500 resettled in Texas, nearly 43,000 resettled in New York, and more than 36,000 resettled in Michigan.
Refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, according to the latest research. Over the course of five years, an estimated 16 percent of all refugees admitted will need housing assistance paid for by taxpayers.

Don’t take a Trump 2020 win for granted.
My guess is most of these states are DEMONCRAPPER Governors. too!
What is going on with the RED states?
Seven out of 8 states choosing paperless systems are Red States.
We need Texas. What’s going on with Gov Abbott? He’s a good guy.
Do not take it for granted that Trump will win..
Seven out of 8 states choosing paperless systems are Red States..
Report says eight states to use paperless voting in 2020 despite security concerns
BY MAGGIE MILLER –
08/13/19 06:06 AM EDT
…
Many of these Americans will vote in the eight states that will use some form of paperless voting in 2020:
Texas,
Louisiana,
Tennessee,
Mississippi,
Kansas,
Indiana,
Kentucky and
New Jersey.
“Experts have longed warned that these machines are a security risk because they do not allow election officials or the public to confirm electronic vote totals,” the report’s authors wrote.
The report said the number of Americans expected to cast votes through paperless machines is down from 20 percent in 2016, when 14 states used some form of paperless voting machines.
Pennsylvania, Georgia and South Carolina are on course to replace all paperless voting machines by 2020, while Arkansas, Virginia and Delaware have already completed this process.
The authors wrote that more funding from Congress would allow states to replace paperless voting machines and cut down on the number of Americans expected to use them in 2020.

Trump refuses to declare a full throated National Security Declaration and deport 800,000 DACA children, now adults, all 26.8 million illegal aliens, thousands of muslim refugess and H-1B/2B workers STILL inside the USA.
Congress and the District courts have NO STANDING over an Executive Branch National Security Declaration.
Idiot Trump fails to use his legal Constitutional Commander In Chief powers and plays the fool to a leftist Congress and leftist District Courts when he does not have to. He can just ignore them, but no.
The SCOTUS would back Trump up, but the fool will not go there.

And then we constantly hear about voter suppression by the Democrats. It’s total BS! You have to have an ID for just about everything and yet they say having to show an ID to vote is racist. No it’s that Democrats love to cheat and will use every dirty trick in the book to regain power. They are despicable!

Let ICE go wild on illegals.
End DAKA.
Refugees? If they are already in a safe nation and then show up they are no longer refugees. Its a title that ends in the first country of safe harbour. So that would mean 99% refugee status failure. Immediate deportation.
The governors will have virtually no one to resettle on the taxpayer’s dime.
Regarding non-citizens voting, announce a presidential decree that any non-citizen caught voting in a federal election gets five years in federal prison, immediate deportation upon release (as in straight to the airport), and loss of all possessions, property, and bank accounts. You leave probably with less than when you arrived. Then follow through on this.

I am an Arizona voter, neither Repugnican nor Demoncrap, but I voted for Ducey as governor. I will join any campaign to unseat Ducey from the Governor’s chair, even if it means installing a slimy Bolshevik. After all, there is little difference between a RINO (see McCain, Romney, Collins, Rubio, etc.) and a MarxiCrat.

I went though the Naval Aviation Training Command one year after “Songbird.” He had already created a rotten reputation as a spoiled Navy princeling, having walked away from two (some say three) wrecked training aircraft, yet was not grounded and sent to some “tin can” in WestPac. Eventually this bastard’s pranks cost many lives during ha ‘wet start” of his Skyhawk aboard the Forrestal..
As a Zonie and former Naval Flight Officer, I am ashamed of that miserable carpetbagger.

WHY HAS THE NUMBER OF “REFUGEES” NOT BEEN REDUCED TO ZERO?
These people are NOT refugees, even by the UN definition and they are not being “settled” according to the UN rules, which dictate that they should be settled in the nearest safe county to that which they are escaping.
The truth is that the UN is an organization that seeks to replace the White European, American and Australian populations, which BTW is defined as genocide. The US needs to get out of the UN and needs to say NO to any resettlement of people here, whether they call them refugees or not.

Federal judges oppose all of President Trump’s attempts to address the problem. Don’t blame Trump.

I don’t think that he is trying to fight them and Congress hard enough. He always has the right to declare an emergency and I, and many others, believe this to be an emergency. We are being INVADED!

He has definitely made an effort to reduce illegal immigration. The courts are doing criminal acts to obstruct his efforts.

Sadly I have to agree with you. He has not been tough enough on the invasion issue (incorrectly referred to as immigration). It just seems that there is no one out there running for public office who is willing to impose a moratorium on all immigration.

You state “3 years”. I voted for President Trump for three reasons:
1) Immigration Policies
2) Immigration Policies
3) Immigration Policies
At least those that were PROMISED.
Sadly, those promises were NOT kept.
Then, toss in his forkin’ “Criminal Justice Reform”, which lets violent criminals out in YUGE numbers.
Yup, I was fooled again.

The citizens in these states need to impeach these governors and refuse resettlement. It’s only being done to change the vote statistics.

i think the quote was, ” the people have spoken, let them be punished”. Regardless and all seriousness aside,we are in a fight, for sure. Liberals, ie., socialists have infiltrated,subverted,and taken over to many functions of Government.It started at the grassroots, then grew from there. Earliest memory of mine is a PTA meeting.I was about 5.(1950-1951) Parents(mothers, no fathers), were upset then put down by the leaders. My Mom was upset but I didn`t really know why. Conservatives are not welcome at PTA,School brd. meetings. Aware that public libraries have been pulling out for destruction, books that have conservative heros. Cowboy&indian books. Books that sort of help form a boys manhood as an individual. Banned books,Tom Sawyer,Huckleberry,Uncle Toms Cabin. Books that have an individualistic hero. A bane of the leftists. The left has always wanted to destroy the USA. I don`t blame them, I blame us for allowing it. Run for school brd. Get on a library brd. Get involved, write letters to editors.Call Legislators. I do.

Ms. Geller commented on a story about Canadian PM Trudeau that Canadians deserved him because we voted for him. No we didn’t. Trudeau did what your Democrats are now doing to import voters. One third of voters elected him, mostly recent immigrants and refugee Muslims from third world countries voted for him in Southern Ontario where the high number of electoral districts determine the party in power. We do not have an electoral college. Also no term limit. In Western Canada we are in the process of forming a separatist party.

If the American voters understood the fiscal and economic damage they are suffering as a result of illegal immigration and bogus “refugees” they would support Trump’s immigration; policies by huge margins. No one that I have seen or read and understands the full impact, the full economic devastation this country is enduring with 40 million illegals within our borders. The true cost is TWO TRILLION a year and over 50 years that’s 100 TRILLION in today’s dollars.

I just finished watching two of Dennis Michael Lynch’s They Come To America II and III tonight and it was such an eye opener. I watched the first one years ago and just received the new one, number IV in the mail. It really shows how messed up our borders are. Not because of border patrol or ICE but because of the demon Democrats! And it is costing a fortune on taxpayers while we take care of all of them and our veterans go without what they deserve. Sickening!

The economic damage is incredible and beyond adequate description.It amounts to 30-40% of the combined budgets of our states and federal government. It is a huge ball and chain around the necks of tax paying Americans and cannot be sustained;otherwise, we will soon all be like California.

In Michigan Rick Snyder, the last Republican governor made sure a a female Republican state supreme court member be allowed back on the ballot last year. Candidates were told she had been the reason a ballot referendum to allow same day registration was on the ballot. Snyder is now a lobbyist as well as a Rino.
The problem is really too many voters do nothing but vote. The worse, seem to be those born after 1970, unless
they’ve served the country.
A former Michigan Secretary of State implemented a policy set in place by the retiring one, Richard Austin, a Democrat, who asked the then Democrat AG, Frank Kelly, if he could issue driver licenses to illegal aliens. Kelly said yes, a Candace Miller put it in place. She went off to Congress and the following SOS, Terry Lynn Land, continued the policy until a Republican AG, Mike Cox, ruled she could not continue that policy. Miller and Land were both Republicans. Michigan Republicans, it seems, killed off a great candidate because he spoke about his concerns about a Shariah compliant Democratic candidate for governor. The Michigan GOP seems rather suicidal. That state seems to not be the only one as I watch them. Funny that Michigan was where the GOP was founded.
