When Tennessee Governor Lee foolishly caved to pressure from Leftwingers and asserted that Yup! Tennessee would welcome a fresh batch of refugees in the coming year, many Republicans who elected him felt betrayed.
TN Gov Bill Lee joins ‘religious Left’ in opposition to the President on refugee resettlement!
In other states where your Republican governor has turned against the President on refugees, you might feel betrayed too, but in Tennessee passions are apparently much higher.
During the term of Tennessee’s previous governor, the state filed a Tenth Amendment lawsuit against the feds over the refugee program there and Lee said, while campaigning for his new job, that he supported that case still winding its way through the courts.
Now, Lee (dubbed ‘Biblical Bill’by a Tennessee-based website), conservatives feel has double-crossed the people who put him in office.
Breitbart reporter John Binder reportedlate last night that action against the governor is underway.
Exclusive: Tennessee Counties Consider Rebuking Gov. Bill Lee’s Approval of More Refugee Resettlement
About a third of Tennessee’s 95 counties, thus far, are considering rebuking Republican Gov. Bill Lee’s approval for the State Department to resettle more refugees in the state next year, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
[….]
Last week, Lee gave official approval to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to resettle more refugees in the state of Tennessee next year despite a high-profile Tenth Amendment lawsuit that questions the constitutionality of the refugee resettlement program.
Now, at least 31 counties in Tennessee are considering adopting a resolution that rebukes Lee’s approval for more refugees and demands that refugees not be resettled in non-consenting counties. The resolution contends that even if some counties do not consent to refugee resettlement, neighboring consenting counties will be allowed to resettle refugees in those non-consenting counties’ borders.
That reference to non-consenting counties potentially receiving refugees refers to the US State Department rule that contractors may place refugees within a one-hundred-mile radius of their local subcontractor’s office.
The Dailyrollcall.com published this map to show how the 4 federally contracted resettlement offices operating in the state in fact are allowed (according to the feds!) to spread refugees in almost the entire state!
Breitbart News exclusively obtained the resolution, which reads:
BE IT RESOLVED that [County Name] does not want to be forced into participating in the federal refugee resettlement program due to either Governor Lee’s consent and/or being within the permissible placement radius of a resettlement agency office. [Emphasis added]
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that [County Name] requests that Governor Lee retract his consent for initial resettlement in Tennessee for both the one year period of time as stated in his letter and/or the actual consent period required by the Funding Notice. [Emphasis added]
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that [County Name] requests that in the event Governor Lee does not retract his consent for initial refugee resettlement, that [Lee] submit a revised letter of consent to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and to Lt. Governor Randy McNally and House Speaker Cameron Sexton exempting non-consenting counties from forced participation in the initial resettlement of refugees in Tennessee. [Emphasis added]
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that [County Name] requests that Governor Lee by written notice inform the resettlement agencies which maintain offices and operations in Tennessee that they may not place arriving refugees in non-consenting counties. [Emphasis added]
Whether you live in a Democrat run state or in one of the 15 states where the Republicans have turned on the President, you too could use this resolution model where you live. Obviously change the names and some of the facts.
I wasn’t going to list the states where Republican governors have gone against the President until they appeared on the US State Department’s official list, but since the DOS is dragging its feet getting its list up-to-date, below is the list of Rs who are welcoming more poverty to your state.
You might well characterize these Republicans as particularly dumb for consenting long before they have to according to the Funding Guidance, but I suspect they thought they might get brownie points from the Open Borders agitators led by the refugee resettlement contractors in their states.
I’m hoping that you won’t hold back in telling them what you think!
BTW, I should have made it clear above that according to the Funding Guidance, counties must opt-in as well as the governor. If the governor is out, than that settles it for a small portion of FY2020 (from June to end of September), no refugees would be permitted placement (with a few exceptions).
As you know Republican governors*** are turning against the President on the issue of refugee admissions and the President’s Executive Order that permits governors and county commissioners to say no thanks to refugee resettlement later in 2020.
‘Send us more poverty we have run out of poor people for the churches (and taxpayers!) to care for,’ said Tennessee Governor Bill Lee when he said his Christian faith led him to decide to reach out with open arms to the third world in order to move more poverty closer to home.
“Bill and Pompeo working on the refugee resettlement issues.”
Thanks to the ever-watchful dailyrollcall.com, a website in Nashville, we learned that Secretary of State Pompeo visited the governor (dubbed ‘Biblical Bill’) in October to “canoodle” about the refugee program. That was only a few weeks after the release of the President’s EO.
Because Tennesseans are better organized to resist refugees and have maintained strong and vocal support for a state’s rights lawsuit the state filed against the federal government, citizens are alert and learned of Pompeo’s visit to the governor.
Frankly I smell a rat! Was Pompeo looking for a key governor (some might argue the most important governor because of the lawsuit) to lead other Republican governors to consent to refugee placement in their states?
Or, is it possible that Pompeo was out having additional chit-chats with governors that we don’t know about.
By the way, any Republican governor who jumps on the consent bandwagon this early is dumb, because according to the Funding rulesthat are the guidance for the President’s concept to allow governors to opt-in or opt-out, they have well into 2020 to decide because of the leeway granted by the loose language of the guidance.
The big lie!
Could the Secretary of State be telling Lee andhis ‘evangelicals’ that they will be admitting mostly the persecuted Christians of the Middle East to your towns and cities?
Does the President know what Pompeo is doing?
Because I’m sick of hearing that we need refugee resettlement to save Christians, I had a look at the numbers this morning.
If you thought the Trump State Department was saving Christians in the Middle East, you are wrong!
I checked the Refugee Processing Centerdata and learned this about the three major Middle Eastern Islamic countries from which we admit refugees. I went back to Trump’s inauguration day to today, Christmas eve 2019, and learned this:
Afghanistan
We admitted 2,831 refugees. 2,714 of those are Muslims (96%)
In addition to the regular refugees we admitted 37,570 Special Immigrant Visas(get the same benefits as refugees) for those who supposedly helped us there since Trump came into office. They would naturally all be Muslims, but there is no data on those (that I know of).
Iraq
We admitted 2,944 refugees. 1,891 of those are Muslims (64%)
In addition we admitted 3,341 SIVs from Iraq.
Syria
We admitted 2,674 refugees. 2,549 are Muslims (95%)
If Gov. Lee thinks we are saving Syrian Christians, we are not! And, I sure hope that Pompeo wasn’t telling him that we are!
And, by the way, there is a bipartisan effort in the Senate that includes Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to expand the SIV program to Syrians and Kurds (Muslims),see here.
Over the years, Blackburn has talked big about slowing the flow of refugees, so why has she now done a 180?
A story for another day! At least the State Department is putting on a show of opposing it!
*** So far besides Lee, that we know of, REPUBLICAN governors of Utah, New Hampshire, Arizona, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia and Nebraska have abandoned Trump. The official list of governors who have consented is here. Clearly many governors have not gotten their consent letters into the State Department.
But, he is up against a buzz saw—likely the most significant “Pocket of Resistance” anywhere in the country.
A what? A pocket of resistance?
That is a term one of Obama’s federal Office of Refugee Resettlement employees used at a 2013 refugee contractor pow-wow in Lancaster, PA to describe the citizens who were asking questions about the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program.
[T]he keynote speaker talked about how ‘Welcoming America’was working to get YOUR minds right about your new refugee neighbors (and, they received a federal grant from ORR to do it!).
Originally from Tennessee, David Lubell launched Welcoming America, a non-profit the feds hired to tamp down what they termed as ‘pockets of resistance.’ Lubell was later awarded Obama’s ‘Champion of Change’ award.
Before Susan Downs-Karkos from ‘Welcoming America’ spoke, we had been alerted by the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s Director of Placement, Mitiku Ashebir that (gasp!) “three pockets of resistance against new arrivals” had developed. He assured the gathering it was not widespread and that Pennsylvania, thankfully, was not one of them. Drum roll please! Here are the pockets of resistance and Mr. Ashebir’s brief description of the unwelcoming problems:
New Hampshire—some mayors have problems, said Ashebir
Georgia—budget reductions for some service providers
Tennessee—they want to control arrival numbers! Imagine that!
As far as I know the resistance in Georgia and New Hampshire has been brought under control by Leftwing refugee industry activists, but they have not been able to quell the rebellion by Tennessee patriots who are hopping mad at the governor for going against the President and saying—send us more poor people from across the world. (Lee caves here.)
Consequently, see this mornings news about the uprising against the governor, a governor conservatives put their faith in and now feel he has betrayed them.
From the Dailyrollcall.com(every state should have a publication like this one to keep especially your Republicans accountable):
Bill Lee Tithes For the Federal Refugee Resettlement Program With Taxpayer Money
Why do millionaires like Bill Lee feel so free to use state tax dollars to live out their personal religious beliefs?
Remember when Bill Lee was campaigning and trying to dazzle gullible voters with his “brilliant” idea for an Office of Faith-Based & Community Initiatives?
Good ol’ country boy Bill Lee bows to Leftists that run the big urban centers of Tennessee.
Once elected he launched this initiative and it may end up being the vehicle for Bill Lee to funnel more state dollars to pad the pocketbooks of federal refugee contractors and other groups that want to get into the lucrative refugee resettlement business.
In fact, Bill Lee told us as much while he was on the campaign trail:
“My wife has worked in a ministry that serves Kurdish refugees, I’ve been to Kurdistan and served with refugees from ISIS in refugee camps,” Lee replied. “I believe that the work of nonprofits is powerful and important, and that’s what this is about. And I am a Christian, so my experiences and my work with non-profits that are doing effective work has been Christian organizations, so that’s what I talk about, because I talk about my experience, and I will support works that are doing, meeting some of the greatest challenges in our community that I believe government shouldn’t meet, it’s not the role of government to do that. But it is the role of the nonprofit community and I would encourage that kind of work, for sure.”
But he might just use the government to provide the greenbacks – we’ll get to that in a minute.
So why is anyone surprised that when offered, he jumped at the chance to say “YES!” I want to put Tennessee back into the refugee resettlement program!!!
And because of the 50-100 mile placement rules from the four urban centers where the federal resettlement contractor offices are located, when he consented for Tennessee, he pretty much put every county in the state up for grabs.
Judith Clerjeune an immigrant activist in TN is thrilled with the governor. But you can bet they still won’t vote for him next time around. https://www.tnimmigrant.org/judith
Conservatives in Tennessee who put Bill Lee in office get a lump of coal for Christmas while the radical left TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) congratulates it’s lobbying effort on the consent push:
“We thank Governor Lee for his moral clarity and leadership in making his decision today…‘Refugee communities across Tennessee have played a powerful role in defending not only the resettlement program but the values and aspirations of this country’, said TIRRC Policy Officer Judith Clerjeune. ‘We will continue to work with refugee leaders and partner agencies to advocate for a robust and generous resettlement program.”’
During Bill Lee’s campaign his first major policy initiative was his “Roadmap for Rural Tennessee” which he highlighted by riding around on a tractor and talking about “his farming roots” and about how Tennessee is just one generation away from losing this way of life.
Not sure what happened to all that rural love, because what we have now, is the rural governor scrooging Tennessee’s rural counties in deference to the urban-based federal contractor resettlement agencies.
As of this writing, Lee’s ‘welcome refugees’ letter is not on file at the US State Department. See if your governor is here.
The nine federal refugee contractors salaried workers are working day and night to get those consents into the State Department by Christmas. Therefore….
Funny that I just reported in my previous post about Minnesota’s Leftwing ‘religious’ (aka Interfaith) groups, about how good the cultural Marxists are at community organizing, and that we need grassroots groups that put America First!
What do you know! some are organizing on our side—on the side of Christian conservatism.
Here is a postfrom Conservative Christians of Tennessee about how their Republican governor has gone all wobbly on whether Catholic Charities, working for the US State Department, can just willy-nilly send Africans, Asians and Middle Easterners to the state for Tennessee taxpayers to support.
Bill Lee Looks Refugee Gift Horse in Mouth, Considers Kissing
One doesn’t often arise from a peaceful slumber on a Saturday happy and well rested only to experience an almost instantaneous mood change. That happened today.
Thanks, Bill Lee. Yeah, the same guy we endorsed as “Best Choice” for Governor of Tennessee. Our peaceful Saturday morning slumber was wrecked with limp-wristed political wavering.
The reason we’re hopping mad at 5:00 am on a Saturday morning is that Bill Lee didn’t immediately accept President Trump’s recent gift to states, an executive order allowing states to reject refugee resettlement within their borders. We wrote about this recently in our article, “President Trump Just Revolutionized America’s Refugee Program.” We were excited to think that the Federal Government would stop forcing states to permanently accept refugees that the states then had to eternally support. CCOT felt that state’s rights and self-determination were being uplifted in our highest halls of government.
Since even Liberal USA Todaysays that more than half of immigrants are on welfare, we assumed that Governor Lee would additionally see this as a clear-cut issue of food fiscal policy for Tennessee.
Continue reading to see how the Republican governor is waffling.
And, near the end we see that Conservative Christians describe real Christian charity as it relates to refugees as this:
Conservative Christians of Tennessee has long held that the refugee program is destructive in its current form. US Policy should encourage Christian Ministries to meet and assist refugees as close to the point of conflict as is possible and prepare them to return to their point of origin to help rebuild the nations they have left.
We have long advocated for real Christians to use their private charitable dollars (not taxpayers’ wallets) to do their charitable good works abroad.
Additionally, protecting refugees in their own cultural zones is infinitely kinder than shipping them thousands of miles away and dropping them in places like Chicago!
Do you have a Conservative Christian group in your state? If not, why not?
If you haven’t called your governor and county government leaders, know that the refugee contractors*** are pushing for Christmas to get their consent for more refugees into the US State Department.
The more I learn about the globalist billionaires funding the open borders movement the more I realize why they hate Donald Trump so much.
Don’t get too discouraged, remember you are up against Hard Left community organizers who are heavily funded by the likes of George Soros, Paul Singer and Michael Bloomberg to name just three of the globalists hiding behind phony humanitarianism.
What they really want, but dare not say it, is a free flow of cheap labor across the planet.
Go to the State Department website here to see which governors have signed up. Note the city governments. I don’t know what the feds will do about that as the guidance says county commissioners are the elected officials who must decide on the local level.
***For new readers these (below) are the nine federally-funded refugee contractors that monopolize all refugee placement in America. For decades they have decided in secrecy where to place refugees and they don’t want to lose that power because even as they pontificate about their religious convictions and humanitarian zeal, they are Leftwing (anti-Trump) political agitation groups working to change America by changing the people and using your money to do it!
Sometimes ‘Christians’ don’t tell the whole truth!
Yesterday I reported on the Religious Left’s ongoing campaign to pressure governors to oppose the President on one of the President’s most important 2016 campaign promises—to reduce the flow of ‘refugees’ from around the globe to your towns.
The Christian Post alerted us to a series of letters to governors of 15 states in which one of the nine federal resettlement contractors***, World Relief, teamed up with a Far Left religious extremist activist group connected to George Soros—the Evangelical Immigration Table.See also here.
Scott Arbeiter is the President of World Relief which received $43 million in federal grants and contracts in 2018. 67% of its entire budget is taxpayer funded.
You canfind the letters here, see if your governor got one, but even more importantly see if you can identify those who signed the deceptive letter in your state!
The Tennessee-based Dailyrollcall.com noted a common talking point (found in the boiler-plate letters) that the contractors and their friends often cite—they claim no refugee has killed an American in an act of terrorism (on our soil). LOL! See how they use weasel words!
What they don’t tell you is that many were apprehended before they accomplished the deed, others tried and failed, and many others committed some heinous crimes.
What do these three featured by the Dailyrollcall.comhave in common?
Yup! Refugees who killed people on American soil.
This is what Dailyrollcall.com said about them and the so-called Tennessee evangelicals:
Religious moralizing by Tennessee evangelicals doesn’t cut it either. In a cleverly worded letter to Governor Lee they state that “since the Refugee Act of 1980, no refugee resettled to the U.S. has taken a single American life in an act of terrorism.”
According to these compassionate Christians, it’s not good enough that the victim(s) attacked is severely injured; they have to actually die and it has to be labeled “terrorism” for it to matter.
Two years ago, Sudanese refugee Emanuel Samson, shot up a church in Nashville, killing Melanie Crow and injuring seven other worshippers.
In 2011, Omar Mohamed Kalmio, a Minnesota Somali refugee, murdered 4 people in North Dakota. This was after he and a group of Somali men had knife attacked a man in Minneapolis five years earlier.
In 2008 Esar Met, a Burmese Muslim refugee raped and murdered a young Burmese Christian refugee girl in Salt Lake City.
And here is the letter that World Relief (Form 990 here) and the ‘Evangelical’ Immigration Table sent to Republican Governor Lee. Be sure to find your state letter here. Find out who in your state is working to change America by changing the people.

Here (below) are the over 600 who signed the Tennessee letter to Republican Governor Lee.
True evangelicals will quickly notice that large numbers of those who signed are not evangelicals.
I’m wondering if you Tennesseans know these political activists who are asking your Republican governor to oppose President Trump. I’m betting that these are all hardcore Democrats, so why would a Republican governor listen to them?
Let me know if you see any on this list who are fans of the President and America First. And, is your church listed?
