Is it moral to attempt to pass such legislation when public comments in person are not allowed?

The county does allow public comments submitted via web which are read by the county clerk.

The resolution is determined by commissioner vote not via countywide vote via ballot.

Does the resolution refusing allowing Refugees go against Catholic Social Teaching?
 
It sounds like a law to help the ACLU. This seems to have dubious constitutionality and will lead to lawsuits. Then the officials will have to pay the legal fees of the successful litigants, probably the ACLU.

"Noncitizens undeniably have a wide range of rights under the Constitution. Indeed, within the borders of the United States, they have most of the same rights as citizens do, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent bans most state laws discriminating against noncitizens. There is little if any serious controversy among experts over this matter…

State governments are also forbidden to discriminate against immigrants based on national origin. In a recent high-profile decision, a federal court struck down an Indiana policy, enacted by then-governor Mike Pence, that denied state services to Syrian refugees that were made available to refugees from other nations."
