Minnesota Governor Says Residents Questioning Refugee Settlement Should Leave His State

We’re told that refugee resettlement is about the preservation of human dignity. But those advocating for it don’t always act in a dignified manner.

The resettlement of Somali refugees to central Minnesota has been the subject of heated debate. Some argue that refusing refugees would not be neighborly. Then comes this, from Alpha News:

Governor Mark Dayton attended a community conversation about race hosted by the St. Cloud NAACP and told people who have been questioning refugee resettlement in the central Minnesota region to “find another state.”

WJON reports the Governor’s statements, “This is a time for everybody who is a Minnesotan, a real Minnesotan to take a stand and say, ‘not in our state.’ If you are that intolerant, that much of a racist and a bigot, then find another state, they really should go somewhere else” said Dayton.

If you don’t think refugees should come, you can go. That’s the “tolerant” message from Minnesota’s Democrat governor.

I would dispute the first time Frankenfraud was “elected”. While the recount was taking place, ballots were found in strategically “abandoned” cars in rural Minnesota, the work of the commie Secretary of State who is also a butt buddy of Georgi Schwartz.

I was born and raised in Minnesota. When I joined the Air Force, I left. The last time I ever set foot in that state was 1990, when my parents retired and move south.

There have been times that I have wanted to come back and visit, there have been times when I wonder whether I would want to move back there and live.

Statements like this, though, just serve to validate my decision to not go back. Ever.

At the very least it was close enough. The fact he even got more the 30% of the vote casts a very bad light on the state, much less winning the election.

Follow the money... people and ‘churches’ are being paid to push the idea of ‘accepting’ these people. It’s NOT out of any good will or love of ‘immigrants’... it’s money. Cold hard cash.

They were accepted on the premise that they were refugees. No one was obligated to do anything to assist them. They did it as a hospitable and charitable act. If the refugees don’t accept what they are given then I would suspect their motives and true intentions. If they are foreign invaders sent here to do harm they need to be booted with prejudice.

Then he’s a bigot if he doesn’t lead the way and house a few of them under his roof or next door to his house.

I have a better idea: whoever is for it is not allowed to leave ever. No leaving to go poison a red state with their presence. They should have to live with the choices they have made.

So, when we build the fence between North Dakota and Little Africa (because that’s where these people are from), do we get to build it west of Fargo?

When you can’t convince the electorate, change it to a new electorate.

"find another state"

Sounds like anti-conservative "eliminationist" rhetoric, which is becoming more and more common among elected Democratic officials. I wonder how far down the road it will be before they are prepared to take that rhetoric to its logical conclusions?
