TEXAS HAS NO AUTHORITY OVER REFUGEES

 

From Breitbart

RSTXThe state of Texas currently has no authority over agencies that are resettling refugees in the Lone Star State.

A state official was asked if the state requires organizations that are involved in resettling refugees in the Lone Star State to be licensed by the state during a recent state senate hearing. “No,” replied Cecile Erwin Young, the state refugee coordinator and the chief of staff at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). “As it stands today, the HHSC has no jurisdiction or regulatory authority over the agencies that resettle refugees in Texas,” a spokesperson for the agency told Breitbart Texas. Other states have the same problem.

During last week’s hearing on the resettlement of refugees in Texas, Senator Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown), the chairman of the Texas Senate Human Health and Services Committee, noted that the state does not license the agencies that resettle refugees in the state.
