BREAKING : Tennessee Says “No Thanks” to Refugees and Sues Federal Government
While our President tries to keep us safe by initiating a travel ban from specific terror hotbed countries, liberal judges are placing the needs of potential terrorists over the safety of Americans by halting the common sense ban.
President Trump is trying to put in place proper vetting policies and procedures, so Americans do not get slaughtered at Christmas parties.
However, liberals, never ones to embrace common sense or FACTS, are politicizing the efforts and making it a “racist” issue.
Thankfully, states like Tennessee are saying enough is enough and “No thank you” to refugees.
Tennessee is so fed up with the refugee program that they’re suing the federal government.

Tennessee became the first state in the nation on Monday to sue the federal government over refugee resettlement on the grounds of the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of several state lawmakers Monday morning in the western district of Tennessee, contends that the federal government has violated the Tenth Amendment, which says the federal government possesses only the powers delegated to it by the U.S. Constitution and that all other powers are reserved for the states.
The charge that the federal government is not complying with the Refugee Act of 1980, based on the Tenth Amendment, makes Tennessee’s lawsuit the first of its kind. Other states have sued the federal government over refugee resettlement but on different legal grounds.
The nation continues to debate refugee resettlement and immigrant rights as it awaits President Donald Trump’s new travel ban. The ban, set to take affect Thursday, bars travel for many people from six Muslim-majority counties and is considered by Trump’s opponents to function essentially as a Muslim ban, although the administration denies this charge.
The lawsuit argues that the federal government has unduly forced states to pay for the refugee resettlement program. The federal refugee act was designed to create a permanent procedure for the admission of refugees into the United States.
The lawsuit asks the court to force the federal government to stop resettling refugees in Tennessee until all costs associated with the settlement are incurred by the federal government.
“Plaintiffs will suffer significant and irreparable harm unless this Court intervenes,” the 15-page lawsuit states.
The defendants named in the lawsuit include the U.S. Department of State, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Hell Yeah! Now find out the politicians behind it there motives and go after them.
Sue the government is one thing. How about they also list the corrupt liberal judges who interfered with the travel ban on the same lawsuits? It is all about liberal control. This is a power grab. Do you think that if the refugees became future Republican voters they would argue with the vetting processes our great President is attempting to develop? No, they would be screaming louder to halt the refugees! Liberals, we are wise to your nonsense and NWO agenda!
This is because citizens of Tennessee like myself have told them they will be voted out of office if they don’t get them out of our state. We have a couple of refugee training camps that bar entry to anyone that is not muslim including law enforcement and wildlife officers up near Dover, TN.
Forced multi-culturalism ruins all culture except the one that forced it. Guess who the feds are or who they who the have sworn loyalty to, even above the constitution.
Makes me proud to be a volunteer, all we need now is to declare war on California and Hollywood which would be like declaring war on China since China owns most of Hollywood
We of Minnesota wish we could sue both Minnesota and the FED for bringing all these damn refugees here, our politicians keep bringing them here and we dont want them, surprise, surprise, they dont listen to us. Would like to send them to live with them or even in their neighborhoods and see how much they want them here after that, those fvckers dont have to live with them.
