Breitbart: A total of 17 Republican governors thus far have approved more refugee resettlement for their states, along with five Democrat governors who govern red 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 whether they want to resettle refugees in their communities.
To date, these Republican governors in 17 states have asked the Trump administration to continue resettling refugees in their states:
- Mike DeWine of Ohio
- Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas
- Kim Reynolds of Iowa
- Charlie Baker of Massachusetts
- Gary Herbert of Utah
- Doug Burgum of North Dakota
- Chris Sununu of New Hampshire
- Doug Ducey of Arizona
- Eric Holcomb of Indiana
- Bill Lee of Tennessee
- Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma
- Pete Ricketts of Nebraska
- Kristi Noem of South Dakota
- Jim Justice of West Virginia
- Mike Parson of Missouri
- Brad Little of Idaho
- Larry Hogan of Maryland
Swing state Democrat governors like Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, Tony Evers of Wisconsin, and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan — all states that voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election — have approved more refugees. Similarly, a handful of red-state Democrat governors have signed off on more refugee resettlement, including:
- Steve Bullock of Montana
- Laura Kelly of Kansas
- John Bel Edwards of Louisiana
- Roy Cooper of North Carolina
- Andy Beshear of Kentucky
Another 14 Democrat governors of blue states, such as Gavin Newsom of California and Ned Lamont of Connecticut, have asked the federal government to resettle more refugees in their states.
Already, in red states, governors are facing backlash from constituents who oppose bringing more immigration to their local towns, communities, and neighborhoods, as they often are forced to offset the costs of public services and welfare.
As Breitbart News exclusively reported, in Tennessee, Bill Lee is set to be challenged by a number of counties that are considering passing a resolution rebuking his pro-refugee resettlement decision. READ MORE
DeWine is 100% RINO. The establishment primaried out the REAL conservative.
We ALWAYS get RINO govenorns, it’s because the big cities are all Democrat slaves and the NW part of the state is run by the UAW to serve Detroit.
THIS one is REAL shady, just as a for instance, he claims to be against “red flag” laws where they take your GUN for 72 hours without due process because your ex-wife gets mad at you, but THEN proposes “pink flag” laws where they take your FREEDOM for 72 hours without due process because your ex-wife gets mad at you INSTEAD, which is just about enough to get you fired from a job while your ex- wife’s boyfriend breaks into your undefended house and steals your guns FOR them.

…and good luck convincing the State-assigned liberal asshat psychiatrist who thinks men can be women and voting Trump is a sign of mental illness to say you’re SANE.
And not sure what you’re going to pay your lawyer with, because you just got fired.
…oh, MUCH better, Mikey! /s
…honestly, when you’re at the hardware store getting the coarse hemp rope for the upcoming Democrat necktie parties, be SURE to get enough for these pinktea DIABLOs too, they’re somehow WORSE, like they feel like they need to PROVE they are worthy to Democrats or something…

What the HELL are we thinking?!?!
It’s surreal, isn’t it? Treason by the dozen.
How much federal funding for displacing Americans?
Fucking traitors.
Supernightshade said it all. DeWine is and always has been a Rino rat b*st*rd. There have been Somali and Ethiopian gangs roaming Columbus for some time. Guess who sucks up the most welfare and tax-payer money? His red flag and pink flag crap will not pass in the legislature.
I knew Texas wouldn’t be on the list.
Bill Lee. What a disappointment. Won’t fool me again, governor.
Lee never fooled me. Friend of mine’s son grew up around his kids in Franklin and said he is a freemason. TNGOP has enough RINOs to fill every zoo in the country.
Well, the governor of my state agreed to take in more invaders. He’s running for reelection in 2020, but has a primary election challenger. The debate of which one to support is over. The challenger gets my vote.
Business interests take priority over quality of life for american citizens. It’s sickening to watch helplessly as we’re betrayed constantly.
I dread the thought of what this country would look like right now if not for President Trump. He’s only holding back the tide and won’t be around forever so despite the reprieve we’re quickly approaching changes in this country that will make it unrecognizable to those of us who grew up in it.
Read Barry’s book! It is not well written, but informative. The GOP “leaders” generally are far left, and have been for over 115 years. Barry tells us the first “NY Valuse” leader was President Roosevelt 115 years ago! Barry was the 1st to state he was conservative, and the Nixon/Bush syndicate hated him. Barry said, ” I can not prove they worked to elect LBJ ( as the Rove/Bush syndicte openly did Oct ’16) but I can prove they did not work for me!”, Mueller, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, L. Lerner … are not the 1st lefties put in power by a dishonest GOP President! And likely will not be the last!
“THE CONSCIENCE OF A CONSERVATIVE”
I can’t believe this horse manure. Indiana’s governor, Holcomb, is a weak-kneed, stab-in-the-back, useless wimp.
Jar-Head — it took me a minute to realize that the “Barry” you mentioned is Goldwater, not the Magic Zero.
I wonder what the going rate is to buy out elected representatives. I wonder if Soros/Bloomberg have to declare that on their taxes. (I used to think that it was a dead hooker in a motel room.)
DON’T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS. Governor Lee is admitting around 200 Coptic Christian refugees who have endured persecution by Muslims. See his letter to Mike Pompeo here: https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/governorsoffice-documents/governorsoffice-documents/RefugeeConsenttoSecretaryPompeo.pdf. Note that this is in cooperation with President Trump’s Executive Order 13888.
And Bill Lee isn’t a RINO. One of my children works very closely with Governor Lee. He’s a good man who loves Tennessee and its people and he prayerfully makes decisions that may be unpopular, but are certainly not done in haste.
if we really cared wouldn’t we be out in the streets protesting and looting like the left?
we could win our country back if we only cared about it as much as the left cares about destroying it
But why do we need 1500 welfare cases from the Congo while Lee overrules the Republican majority in the state legislature. And while getting praised by Democrats and the leftwing Tenn Immigrants and Refugee Rights Coalition.

All that’s missing is a Conexion America’s endorsement.

That idea is right up there with “let me put my head in this noose while I am standing on a chair”.
Just plain stupid.
Muslims aren’t refugees they are invaders
It’s the economy, stupid!
(You know how much a governors gotta pay? To get a loyal citizen to bring him a sammich? From the Subway? All the way over on the corner? These days, it’s madness!)
WTF is this? Just open the doors and let them in? If they vetted each one to make sure they had something to offer, such as a tech skill, like some countries do, that would be a better deal. But they are described as “refugees”, which means, usually, that they are bedraggled, diseased, under-educated people who will drain us taxpayers with welfare and health care demands.
THIS SUCKS!
Why am I not surprised that DeWine heads the list?

“…There have been Somali and Ethiopian gangs roaming Columbus for some time.”
…I’ve seen that there, but down South here, our African imports are mostly Muslim too, but tend to be Ghanaian, Ethiopian, Sudanese, and Nigerian.
Of course, the ones I see are the ones my company uses for cheap labor, so they have to actually WORK. Some (few) of them are even Christian. My understanding of Somalis is that they consider “work” to be in the province of sab, or low, clans and not something a noble camel theif such as the ones who actually make it over here would stoop to. Looking at Omar or whatever that Congresswoman’s REAL name is, leaves me no reason to doubt that what OTHER Africans have told me about Somalis being lazy is true.
Given that, we might have a HUGE Somali colony here, and I just don’t know it. The local media is VERY liberal (they ALL cried, on camera, when Hillary lost), so THEY’D never tell me about it.
And I wouldn’t seek them myself.
I do not go where the Muslims go unless someone PAYS me for it.
Our (Maine) leftist Guv Mills wants to bring in 75,000!!!
We are a state of only 1.3 million.
Say it AIN’T SO, my Arizona !?!?!?!? I gotta look into this a little more
I’m surprised by South Dakota. Unless she’s only taking in the Christian africans.
