House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, and Senate Speaker Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, have assembled an all-Republican study committee on refugee issues, TNJ: On the Hill reports. “With this study committee, we reaffirm that there is a clear and compelling state interest in a sane immigration policy,” McNally said. In a letter to House and Senate clerks, McNally and Sexton said the committee will examine the number of migrant children that have been relocated to the state by the federal government, work to increase transparency surrounding that process, and evaluate the financial and other impact the federal migrant relocation program has on Tennesseans.
