Glen Casada has a plan should the federal government attempt to dump Syrian refugees in Tennessee.
A top Tennessee Republican lawmaker believes the time has come for the National Guard to round up any Syrian refugees who have recently settled in the state and to stop any additional Syrian refugees from entering Tennessee.
“We need to activate the Tennessee National Guard and stop them from coming in to the state by whatever means we can,” said House GOP Caucus Chairman Glen Casada, R-Franklin, referencing refugees.
“I’m not worried about what a bureaucrat in D.C. or an unelected judge thinks. … We need to gather (Syrian refugees) up and politely take them back to the ICE center and say, ‘They’re not coming to Tennessee, they’re yours.’ “
28 of the 31 states governed by Republicans and New Hampshire, governed by Democrat Maggie Hassan, have said they will not take Syrian refugees. Expect that many of these governors will consider this solution as a last resort.
