FOX 7 Discussion: Abbott's letter on resettlement of new refugees in Texas

Gov. Greg Abbott says the state will reject the resettlement of new refugees, making Texas the first state to do so under a recent Trump administration order.

In a letter, Abbott wrote that Texas "has been left by Congress to deal with disproportionate migration issues resulting from a broken federal immigration system." He added that Texas has done "more than its share."
