Gov. Greg Abbott Says New Refugees Won't Be Allowed To Settle In Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Friday that his state will not accept new refugees this year, making Texas the first state to reject resettlements under a new rule from President Trump.
Trump signed an executive order in September, saying that states and municipalities must give written consent before refugees can be resettled.
"Texas has carried more than its share in assisting the refugee resettlement process," Abbott, a Republican, said in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday.
"Since FY2010, more refugees have been received in Texas than in any other state. In fact, over that decade, roughly 10% of all refugees resettled in the United States have been placed in Texas," Abbott noted.
He added, "Texas has been left by Congress to deal with disproportionate migration issues resulting from a broken federal immigration system."

With your new rule that no new refugee/immigrants allowed - Texas will remain Red & Fascist for all perpetuity.
What a Nazi asswipe.
