    Obama Administration to Oakland County, Michigan: No, We Won’t Comply with Refugee Law

    Robert Carey, the Obama administration’s director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), recently told Oakland County, Michigan that the agency he directs has no intention of complying with the Refugee Act of 1980‘s requirement that it “consult regularly …with local governments concerning the sponsorship process and the intended distribution among the States and localities before their placement in those States and localities.”

    In a letter to Carey dated June 17, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson wrote:

    It has come to my attention that between October 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016, 1,860 refugees have been placed in the State of Michigan…Of those 1,860 refugees estimates are that hundreds of them have been resettled in Oakland County. Oakland County has not been consulted with respect to the placement of refugees in our jurisdiction. Exact numbers of refugees placed in Oakland County are not readily available as the federal government is not performing its statutory duty to consult with local governments as discussed below.

This is a spectacular opportunity for the state to assert itself. Since the Feds are in violation of the law, simply arrest any federal officials attempting to place refugees in their juridiction, and back it up with a state judge.

Yes, it is!

Patterson is a RINO but every once in a while he gets one right.

What do you do with the refugees in the meantime?

Buy them a bus ticket to the destination of their choice, or drop them off at the nearest DNS office.
