REPORT: TRUMP PREPARING EXECUTIVE ORDER TO LET STATES REFUSE REFUGEES

Is President Trump returning to form on immigration?

The White House is preparing an executive order that would allow state and local jurisdictions to deny entry to refugees even if they have been approved for settlement by the federal government, according to a draft of the policy obtained by NBC News.

The draft features language stating that “the federal government will resettle refugees only where both the relevant state and local governments have consented to participate.”

Under the order, the federal government would have to find another location for refugees if the jurisdiction in question does not agree to take them in. An exception would be made for the resettling of spouses or children of those already settled.

It should be up to the people and not the politicians in each state. I say NO, to refugees. Let them fight for a better country like our ancestors and our sons and daughters did.
