The Tennessee Conservative [By Rebecca Scott] –
According to the US Department of Homeland Security, upwards of 600 immigrants from the Southwest Border have cited Middle Tennessee as their intended destination when questioned during processing.
A notice was received by the City of Franklin in the fall of 2023 informing the city that it, along with Nashville, Davidson County, and Murfreesboro were all chosen destinations for the illegal immigrants.
The total of 573 non-citizens who were looking to Middle Tennessee were processed in a time period of only one week, ending September 16,2023. With that many illegal immigrants choosing a small area of Tennessee in one week, it is logical to beg the question how many continue to look to Tennessee as a destination.
According to the paperwork sent to the City of Franklin from the Department of Homeland Security and titled, Intended Destination of Noncitizens Processed at the Southwest Border, which was shared by WSMV, “DHS does not have a role in transporting released noncitizens to their intended destination and does not have a role in validating travel plans. As a result, this information may not accurately reflect individuals who will travel to that destination, remain at that destination, or when they may arrive. With these caveats, DHS is providing these data to potential receiving cities in response to requests for planning purposes only.”
There seems to be no way of tracking whether these noncitizens ever arrived in Tennessee or where they may be now.
The immigrants were said to be from Guatemala, Venezuela, Honduras, and Mexico. There were no specifics regarding gender or age of any of the illegal aliens.
The Tennessee legislature is currently reviewing bills related to illegal immigration in the state.
With notices like this coming from DHS, it is obvious that those crossing the Southern Border are eyeing Tennessee as a destination.

We need to take care of our own homeless, both veterans and those that are unable to provide for themselves before we start spending funds on those that came to this country illegally. I feel sorry for the illegal immigrants, but we should not have to pay for their needs when we are not seeing our own legal citizens taking care of, especially the veterans that served this great nation. There is a legal way for immigrants to come to this country as many have done in the past.
do you feel sorry for those that have started committing crimes already, including robery, rape, etc.?, like the one that attacked two police officers in NY ? well, I don’t, just take a look at our inmigration policies since Carter open our borders to the whole world to come !!!, this country is not a “melting pod” anymore, just look at the congress where we have the enemies inside.
We should put them on a plane and take them back – Vets should Get ALL WE CAN DO TO GIVE THEM A HAND UP TO A STABLE LIFE. 2 TO 5 YEARS OF ASSISTANCE.
and to make Mexico pay for it !!!!
I have lived the illegal influx in California. I know the negative impact illegals have on schools, social resources, American culture and heritage, religion and most importantly education. The majority of illegals are ignorant and illiterate in their own language. They do not want to assimilate to our culture, they bring their own and expect us to accept them. They refuse to learn English and more resources will be wasted on their “education”. ALL illegals and “refugees” should be loaded on busses and planes and shipped back to where they belong. And rino Lee needs to protect and defend the borders of Tennessee or resign.
Turn every illegal alien bus around and either send it back from whence it came or send it to any border crossing to Mexico. The feds have no authority, and private concerns have no authority to send these buses and airplanes anywhere in this country UNLESS THE STATE GOVERNMENT JUST LETS THEM IN!
I think it is wonderful Gov. Lee stands with Texas on the border but let him prove he means it by accompanying the TN National Guard to Texas. He could almost redeem himself from his position on covid and that poison vaccine.
It is less expensive to deport than to support the illegals.
And less expensive to prevent entry in the first place with a border wall.
Load em up and send em packin,oh but I figure that our great politicians in Tennessee problem want em here
Da’gubmint has totally failed us as has RNC/GOP.
Lee and the legislature are complicit if they allow it. Stand for Texas? How about upholding your oaths and standing for Tennessee.
Every week for years I’ve seen an unmarked tour bus drop a load of Hispanics at a strip mall near OHB and Lebanon Rd around 2am. No bus stop there; just several cars and vans waiting to transport the people and the baggage further. This was going on even before the Biden regime!
Since NGOs work hand in hand with corrupt DOJ , homeland sec. and more, then NGOs can pay for the illegal aliens.
Health Care
Housing
Food
Clothing
Legal bills,
etc.
