State of Tennessee Sues Feds over Refugee Resettlement Costs

Tavares, FL        March 13, 2017

The Trump Team is expected to reduce Refugee Resettlement programs in the US in addition to the recent 90 day moratorium. When liberals whine that there is little cost to the program, you might remember this article about the State of Tennesee suing the Feds due to the excess costs absorbed by State taxpayers. Several states have withdrawn from administering the programs, but the Feds can designate a major charity to run the programs in the States. Apparently, the State's still have to PAY to run the programs and for welfare costs, so nothing really changes except the employees are not State employees.

 

So Tennesee is now suing the Federal government, using a well known pro-bono conservative law center, Thomas More Law Center, claiming the forcing of refugees and costs on to the State taxpayers violates the 10th Amendment.

 

This article describes all the costs being forced on State taxpayers, so it is good source to respond to whining about the need to take funds from taxpayers to subsidize non-citizens.
