Tennessee Sues Federal Government: NO MORE MUSLIMS

Feds “All Shook Up” by King of Rock’s home state:

The State of Tennessee sent an unprecedented message to the federal government on Monday: NO MORE REFUGEES.  A lawsuit filed by Tennessee lawmakers claims that the federal government violated the 10th Amendment with its resettlement program. There goes that pesky Constitution.

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” – U.S. Constitution, Amendment X.

But it gets better. Not only is the government not following the Constitution, they aren’t complying with the Refugee Resettlement act of 1980. 

The lawsuit urges that the Federal Government halt refugee resettlement until they’re willing to foot the bill themselves.  Forcing individual states to incur the massive financial burden of refugee resettlement is unconstitutional. The fed forces states to participate, while saddling them with an insurmountable economic burden.

Although TN is not the first state to sue the feds over refugees, the 10th Amendment basis is unique. Undoubtedly, this lawsuit will spur a flurry of states-rights debates, and perhaps similar suits.

State Resources Maxed Out with No Return

The Tennessee Lawsuit States:

“Operation of the federal refugee resettlement program commandeers Tennessee’s funds through Medicaid with the threatened loss of nearly $7 billion, amounting to 20 percent of its overall state budget — money that is needed to fund services that are critical to the health and welfare of countless Tennesseans.”

The state must also pay for the education of each refugee child. Then the state must contend with potential health risks associated with an influx of refugees. Next the state must deal with a lack of housing and physical resources. And the list goes on.

The U.S. and other nations admit refugees on the basis of humanitarian aid. Refugees come with no expectation of self-sufficiency, and usually have no avenue to achieve such. The state is the Sugar Daddy in this one-way relationship.

What is the cost of a Refugee?

The financial strain of refugee resettlement cited by Tennessee lawmakers is nothing short of staggering. 

Look at a few stats from the Center for Immigration Studies:

• The five-year costs of resettlement in the United States include $9,230 spent by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within HHS and the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) within the State Department in the first year, as well as $55,139 in expenditures on welfare and education.
• On average, each Middle Eastern refugee resettled in the United States costs an estimated $64,370 in the first five years, or $257,481 per household.
• NOW, consider that fact that the US admitted nearly 40,000 refugees last year alone.

Further, the average education of Middle Eastern refugee is 10.5 years. These mostly uneducated foreigners will be on welfare for quite some time.

You know who picks up the bill.

And then there’s this version. Some guy hacked his Alexa to talk out of the skull.

I had a very busy weekend and to be truthful, I prefer a more relaxed weekend over what was the past 2 days. All of what happened this weekend was my fault and actually was somewhat enjoyable. It also was all H-D based.

• Nina had her concealed carry class AT SFH-D, a 2 day class.
• Being bored sitting at home, I fired up the bike and went to see how that was going. 90 miles.
• After the class, there was a movie and pizza party scheduled at the store, my idea so I had to be there. It was fun, but I didn’t want to ride home in the cold and dark, so I swapped out the bike for my truck. Party was a success, thanks to Natalie and CJ, and we’ll most likely do it again. Another 90 miles.
• Sunday we woke to dense fog and left home early to adjust for the weather. 5 miles down the road, no fog. I was also going to be one of the range officers for the shooting portion of the day.
• I sat in on the class and even talked to the class about the shooting here 2 years ago. Nice little Q & A afterwards. 100 miles.
• Quite a bit of driving.

Glad I don’t live in the northeast! Who needs more snow?

This hay fever season is kicking my butt. The pollen count out here is huge and I hate it. I have Andy marking all male junipers for removal throughout the year. They are so heavy with pollen, I’d like to burn them where they stand, but for some strange reason, that’s illegal!
