The refugees are NOT sponsored by caring loving people. The refugees are being dumped here for money and political favor, all the while the local citizen has to pay for what the refugee doesn't pay yet uses while here. The vetting process is NOT checking if these refugees have any desire to conform to their new location. Bill Lee must not ever get a conservative vote while Tennesseans are suffering and he is filling his pockets with cash from political favors to cheapen some more of what Tennessee is to so many.

We can’t afford this burden, our property taxes have already gone up. This is not fair to our communities while we have Americans in need. I wouldn’t have voted for either you or Marsha if I knew you you were going to go back on your campaign promise to stop admitting illegals. You do know that there are 15,000 Kurds in Nashville while the total number in the US is 40,000, so guess what..we have 15,000 of those 40 nice huh. If I wanted to be part of Islam or any other country who are being admitted into this beautiful state I’d move there. What’s next? Are you going to be like NY late term abortion, get out of jail free? I moved to this state to get away from all of that, please reverse this decision, it’s outrageous..here’s Marsha back in 2015 https://projects.propublica.org/represent/bills/114/hr4218
here’s her now http://dailyrollcall.com/sen-marsha-blackburn-sponsors-bill-to-import-unlimited-number-of-syrian-iraqi-refugees-to-tennessee/ don’t worry she’s heard from me. I understand helping people, but start at home first. Disgraceful!

Please focus efforts on the citizens of Tennessee in need prior to allowing refugees into our state, only to live off of our tax money.

No refugees. We have enough people that are already living on the street or on government aide that need our attention.

Stop the immigration from these Muslim countries now. It will only cause problems in the future.

I do not want refugees to be settled in Tennessee. There are plenty of other states that will take them and are ready to accept the risk.
