Can the states refuse to accept these immigrants that the Federal goverment brings in?

7. The correct answer is both yes and no

The federal resettlement program is a joint effort between the states and the federal government. The federal government asks the state to find housing for X number of refugees and set up support programs, and the federal government reimburses the state afterward. States absolutely do have the right to opt out of that program.

Once an immigrant resides within the United States legally, however, they cannot prevent those same immigrants from MOVING into their states post-settlement. Freedom of movement is a constitutional right held by everyone within the United States. So if an immigrant is settled in South Dakota, and later decides to move to Austin because winters in South Dakota are awful, there's nothing that Texas can do about it.

The states can refuse to cooperate with immigrant settlement, but they can't block legal U.S. residents who want to choose their own homes using their own resources.
