Democrats Re-Create History Again.... Governor Clinton pressed the Carter administration to stop sending refugees to his state and seemed to win a commitment. But President Jimmy Carter, struggling in his re-election effort, informed Mr. Clinton in August that the government was going to be forced to close camps in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — important presidential electoral states. The refugees there would be sent to Arkansas, creating a political nightmare for Mr. Clinton in the final weeks of his re-election campaign. Mr. Clinton recalled the tense conversation in his book “My Life.” He said he had told Mr. Carter, unsuccessfully, “Send them to a fort in some warm place out West you’re not going to win in November anyway.”
