The U.N. seems to be unthinkingly saying that the prediminately male refugees that have escaped from Syria and who have wife and kids have left their families behind.
Also, note that the states have always had their unique, 10th Amendment-protected powers to decide what to do with refugees, even refusing to allow refugees to enter a state imo.
But voters need to start electing state lawmakers and governors that actually know this.
( parenthesis mine):
(#1)The UN has the rules are already written in stone, under 'family reunification'. OBungler is a U.N. supporter, and I think secretely thinks he could be UN President.
(#2)The State Department has already indicated that there are no laws restricting migrants travel , from one state to another.
The State Dept. merely transports the migrant to the approved resettlement agency, and the migrant can relocate anytime and anywhere.
Pretty much the same benefits as any citizen ... at taxpayers citizen expense.
Agree 100% with your urging to elect constitutionally minded, pro 10th Amendment representatives.
But the immediate question - what protections can a governor give to keep Syrians that are allowed into some other state from moving to a state which has prohibited the direct settlement by Syrians? They are welcomed with open arms to NYC, why can they not just hop on a bus and come to any of the 37 states which prohibited them from being resettled in those states directly? We have no border patrol between one state and another...
Just wondering the legalities and possibilities here if we cant get this stopped in its tracks.
