The four leading 2020 Democrats have demanded more refugee resettlement in American communities, but their own home towns have taken little-to-no refugees over the last decade.
Former Vice President Joe Biden of Delaware, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg have each vowed to massively increase the flow of refugees from abroad into the United States if elected.
Their homes in each of their states, where they have residences, have largely passed the burden of refugee resettlement onto neighboring states and communities.
For example, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware — where Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, have a vacation home — has resettled zero refugees between 2009 and 2019. Delaware, in fact, has resettled only 82 refugees since 2009, a figure that makes it one of the least likely states in the nation to resettle refugees.
In Wilmington, Delaware, where Biden’s primary residence sits, less than 50 refugees have been resettled in the last decade.

Captain obvious says...Trying to turn those districts blue. Democrats will lie and cheat to regain power
Republican districts are being targeted for these resettlements so the districts that traditionally vote red will swing blue.
This is the most dumb dumb story even for this board. 1) do any of these folks actually comtrol much of their local town policies? 2) take Rehoboth; why the hell would you bring large numbers of refugees in with no jobs to offer. 3) you guys would have a fit if ANY federal power forced a local town to take in refugees
Ban guns and learn how to fight.
