GOP governors betraying constituents by pushing refugee resettlement

After a year of record illegal immigration and a high baseline of third-world legal immigration, Republican governors are now pushing for even more refugee resettlement.

In September, President Trump gave veto power to governors and county officials to halt refugee resettlement in their respective jurisdictions with the full understanding that at least the Republican officials would follow his campaign promises of putting American taxpayers first.

He has now agreed to allow refugee resettlement contract groups to engage in more resettlement in the Grand Canyon State.

Thus far, the Republican governors of New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Utah have also agreed to refugee resettlement, at least as long as the county governments agree to it.

As refugee expert Ann Corcoran warns, the New York Times is reporting that 16 governors have officially consented to resettlement.

Which ones? Are other Republicans silently supporting this? Well, that is exactly what will happen if conservatives don't get engaged on the ground and demand that governors such as Texas' Greg Abbott decline to resettle refugees.

In October, the Washington Post reported that "None of the 27 Republican governors and other state officeholders contacted by The Post said definitively that they would move to block refugees." The only statewide elected Republican willing to go on record was Alabama's Attorney General Steve Marshall.
