Joe Biden signed an executive order entitled “Executive Order on Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration,” that denies state and local governments the authority to reject drop-offs of refugees into their communities, which reverses a previous order by Trump that allowed such discretion.

Following is a summary of a February 5, 2021 Breitbart article:

With a stroke of a pen, Joe Biden overturned a previous order by Donald Trump that allowed state and local governments to decide if they would allow refugees to be settled in their localities.

The article says, “[Trump’s] policy [allowed] residents to block the stealthy efforts by refugee resettlement groups to direct new refugees into communities which are selected by local elites.  This refugee dumping is usually done at the request of local employers, such as slaughterhouses, that want new workers to replace ones who quit because of low wages, harsh conditions, and health hazards.”
