A Tennessee bill filed Wednesday would relocate illegal immigrants to the hometowns of President Joe Biden and other top Democratic leaders who are overseeing the border crisis.
Tennessee state Rep. Bruce Griffey introduced the bill in an effort to highlight the need for increased border security.
“The Biden administration is quietly moving thousands of illegals to various states, including Tennessee, by putting them on planes and buses and transporting them in the middle of the night, and we should return them to their sender,” Griffey said in a statement. “I imagine that if we relocated them to the backyards of those responsible for allowing the flood of illegal immigration across our border, then those with federal power might be more apt to secure the border and secure it quickly.”
The idea for the bill was originally presented by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“If Tennessee bands together with Gov. DeSantis and Florida, and other states follow suit, we might actually be able to effect change,” Griffey said.
The legislation calls on the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security and the Department of Human Services to create and execute a system that identifies those living in the United States illegally and relocates them to Delaware, Biden’s home state; California, the home state of Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg; Greenwich, Connecticut, the home of White House press secretary Jen Psaki; Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, the home of former President Barack Obama; or North Hero, Vermont, the location of Sen. Bernie Sanders’s vacation home.

“Tennessee should not be a repository for people coming from all over the world illegally through the southern border and landing in our state,” Griffey said. “We must focus on Tennessee citizens first, what’s best for them, instead of facilitating Biden’s reckless policies.”
