Fox News host Tucker Carlson and a guest discussed Republican governors in 18 states asking for refugee resettlement despite being given an option not to do so.
Introducing the Friday night “Tucker Carlson Tonight” segment, the
Fox News host
recalled when
Republican leaders once
“made a big show of opposing Obama administration refugee policy” and supposedly “got their wish” when President Donald Trump won the 2016 election and
signed
“an executive order allowing cities and states to opt-out of refugee resettlement.”
However, “for some reason, no Republican governors are taking advantage of that,” Carlson said, noting that 18 GOP governors so far “have explicitly requested that more refugees be sent to their states.”
The
list
so far includes:
Doug Ducey
, Arizona
Asa Hutchinson
, Arkansas
Brad Little
, Idaho
Eric Holcomb
, Indiana
Kim Reynolds
, Iowa
Larry Hogan
, Maryland
Charlie Baker
, Massachusetts
Mike Parsons
, Missouri
Pete Ricketts
, Nebraska
Chris Sununu
, New Hampshire
Doug Burgum
, North Dakota
Mike DeWine
, Ohio
Kevin Stitt
, Oklahoma
Kristi Noem
, South Dakota
Bill Lee
, Tennessee
Gary Herbert
, Utah
Phil Scott
, Vermont
Jim Justice
, West Virginia
“We already have more than 20 million illegal immigrants living here,” Carlson said. “The last thing many struggling communities need is more low skilled migrants who may be great people but need a lot. They stress the schools and social programs while not fully integrating. That’s just true and anybody who lives in a community where it has happened will tell you that it is true. As with illegal immigration, the long term agenda of refugee settlement is to bring in future Democratic voters, obviously.”
