A group of Republican legislators from Tennessee have submitted a bill that would require President Joe Biden’s administration to communicate and consult with state and local officials before resettling migrants in their regions.

Tennessee GOP Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty joined with Tennessee GOP Rep. Chuck Fleischmann to introduce the Migrant Resettlement Transparency Act, which would force the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to work with local and state officials before moving migrants who were apprehended at the border into their states.

They may as well have introduced a bill that said Biden couldn't have a bowel movement until he consults the states.  That's how effective the republicans are at defending America.

Nice gesture.
Goin' nowhere.

(methinks we're going to see A LOT of "gestures" like this between now and 2024, and possibly beyond...)

Pelosi's House would pass this? In what perpendicular universe.

The chances of the D-controlled Senate? I think slim and none. Slim left town and None is hiding in a convent.

And then LIEden is supposed to sign it? Yeah ... no, .

Don't states already have the right to refuse or reject resettling of migrants in their states and cities??

I would think so, but I suspect the feds are getting around that by dealing directly with the cities on this.

I would think this issue would really get TBR's proponents of state sovereignty's backs up
