12 GOP Governors Request More Refugees
Truth or Consequences
“The phones start ringing after the first day of classes. They’ll say, ‘My child covered this material last year.’”
- Davidson County, Tennessee Schools Administrator, Truth or Consequences, February 11, 2017
Despite given the opportunity to curb the resettlement of expensive refugees from the world’s most dysfunctional societies, 12 Republican governors have asked to continue in the program.
Utah’s Gary Herbert, Arizona’s Doug Ducey, Wyoming’s Mark Gordon, North Dakota’s Doug Burgum, South Dakota’s Kristi Noem, Nebraska’s Pete Ricketts, Oklahoma’s Kevin Stitt, Indiana’s Eric Holcomb, Tennessee’s Bill Lee, Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Massachusetts’ Charlie Baker, and New Hampshire’s Chris Sununu have defied President Donald Trump and will accept United Nations-selected foreign nationals through September 30, 2020.
15 Republican governors are undecided, while 17 of 23 Democratic governors have agreed to shoulder the financial burdens that come with the placement of uneducated newcomers in their states.
Decisions by Burgum and Lee are particularly surprising. Both North Dakota and Tennessee had sued the federal government for the right to refuse foreign nationals chosen by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Now those states are asking to participate.
Taxpayers are woefully unaware of the costs associated with refugee resettlement. After the dispersal of foreigners across the United States by nine phony “non-profit” contractors, local municipalities become responsible to house, educate, and care for mostly penniless arrivees.
Pressure from large agribusinesses and meatpacking plants for cheap labor is also sizeable and may be cause for many of the agreements - by governors of both parties.
In 2017 a high-ranking administrator of Davidson County, Tennessee’s public schools, who requested anonymity, told this newsletter that few refugee children possess English ability. The jurisdiction then provides pricey teacher’s aides with an understanding of some of the world’s most obscure languages.
Many are actually refugees settled in earlier years.
Because a majority of children have little formal schooling, officials are tasked with placing new students several grades below what their age and physical maturity would merit, with the expected headaches in classrooms.
“The phones start ringing after the first day of classes. They’ll (parents) say, ‘My child covered this material last year.’
“The damage to the educational attainment by public school students in and around Nashville over the last decade is profound. But it’s impermissible for me to say so,” she said.
Lee told the Associated Press, “Certainly I know that there’s disagreement on this subject, but there’s disagreement on most subjects. You agree to disagree and move forward. But I think it’s the right decision and we’re moving forward with it.
“The refugee population in Tennessee is small, and I believe our consent to cooperate and consult with the Trump administration to provide safe harbor for those who are fleeing religious persecution and violent conflict is the right decision.”
[N.S.: It won’t be small for long. And since when is the fake “refugee” being allegedly small a justification for increasing it?]
AP interviewed Fartun Abdi, 25, of Somalia. She now has a salaried position with Catholic Charities, placing her countrymen in Tennessee.
“We are happy that Governor Lee listened and heard the concerns and wishes of the refugees. We are glad to have Lee as our governor,” Abdi said.
[… and ignored the concerns and wishes of Americans.]
A fact sheet from National Immigration Forum indicates that for fiscal year 2018, the Congo, Burma, Ukraine, Bhutan, Eritrea, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Pakistan and Ethiopia provided the United States with the largest numbers of refugees.
******************************
A celebration of the life of Tessa Majors, 18, who was murdered by three assailants in New York City, December 11, was held at the St. Anne’s-Belfield School in Charlottesville, Virginia, yesterday.
Her story has unexpectedly remained in the news because Mayor Bill de Blasio’s police department has been stymied by its inability to jail her killers.
Mass media finds it easy to tell a story with a telegenic victim, too.
A third reason is the fame of Tessa’s great uncle, Tennessee football legend Johnny Majors, who also coached the University of Pittsburgh to an unbeaten national title in 1976.
