ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept 7 (Reuters) - After Fahima, 30, stepped off a plane at Dulles international airport in Virginia on Aug. 26th, she asked an immigration official what would happen to her next. He shrugged, she said, and told her to find a lawyer....

..."I was a little confused," Fahima said through an interpreter. "I didn't know that we had to talk to a lawyer and do all these things by ourselves. I thought the American government was going to take care of this."

The next day, Fahima was picked up at a convention center near the airport by her older sister Hakima...

,,,In Afghanistan, Fahima worked as an administrator for a U.S. organization and had a pending refugee application, she said. When the Taliban took over, she rushed to the airport in Kabul,...Hakima, who works for a think tank in Washington, D.C., took Fahima back to her two-bedroom apartment, which she shares with a roommate....

here's another FUBAR in the making - if the Afghanis leave the base to go with their relatives, there is no ready outreach source for them to access, which leads to frustration and alienation.

When people feel frustrated and alienated, they get angry and may act out.

The State Dept needs to get tight and quick by Jimminy, on babystepping these folks day One, thru the steps needed to function in American society and move towards their goals, like english classes, and ensuring they develop a sense of connected purpose

I think I have figured out the Afghanistan situation;it goes more or less like this:

They tried doing an Afghanistan in Benghazi, but 5 former special operators on hire foiled Hillary and Obama’s plan to hand over weapons and ordnance to the Islamofascists there to get their “support.” in getting rid of Gadaffi’s supporters and opening up Libya to Muslim Brotherhood fighters from Egypt and the Sudan.Alinsky Rules.

The special operators at Benghazi fired on the enemy, foiling the plan to sacrifice Benghazi for special relations between the enemy, Hillery and Obama.Thats why the USAF was held back from bombing the jihadists, in a counterattack.

Joe so far has pulled off another Benghazi written LARGE, when no body shot back at the Taliban and Isis-K in Kabul.The grift is on.Now Blinken has become a Taliban supporter , effectively an agent of the Taliban who now hopes to use them in killing off enemies of the Democratic Party internationally.

Donald Trump especially is in danger of Blinken sponsored assassination attempts brought forward by Isis-K. Thats the whole purpose behind this Afghanistan debacle.( You have to think like a fascist would). Ron Desantis and many other conservative politicians will be targetd by Terrorist cells run by the Taliban and Isis right here in America.Those recruited for that work have likely already been flown into America and have made contact with the FBI operations section.

The socialist left now running the nation know they cannot outvote Republicans and patriotic Americans under the MAGA campaign.

I predict that the Dem party will use the Taliban and Isis-K to kill off their political opponents. The first hits will likely occur abroad. Watch for it over the next few months.Funding is likely already included in their “Build Back Better” Budget.

In short order, conservatives will likely be under threat of suicide bombing. You can’t blame Joe Biden for plauable deniability. The radical left would never do anything like that, its those jihadhis who just went nuts after arriving in America!

So, she gets here, and her sister who works at a D.C. Think Tank comes and picks her up and takes her to her home.

Not much of a struggle to find help IMHO. Did she expect to have Biden and Kammie there to immediately hand her thousands of dollars and chauffeur he to Hermès for a new trousseau and then to her new government provisioned and provided home?

And she worked in Afghanistan for a US company... Why is the company not helping their employee?

And already she is looking for someone to give her money to help smuggle the rest of her family out of Afghanistan and then likely into the US.

Surely there are thousands of new refugees in much more dire circumstances. Maybe MSN picked her as the subject for their article because she is a female with at least a veneer of civilization, rather than a military aged male as are the vast majority of the refugees.

They undoubtedly sorted through hundreds of refugees until they found one that would give them the sound-byte they wanted.

You know they did. But even a soft story can’t hide the issues that are already developing - It’s a lesson taught us for 40 years of ‘rescuing’ people.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in SoAm, the new crowd aren’t the old school mexicans, and this admin has blown it spectacularly in screening the southern border. The afghani crowd is much smaller, largely contained at the moment, and a second chance to get on top of who what when and why. State owns this 100% and they’re blowing it. ‘Get a lawyer,’ sue the govt, is the first thing we teach them ?- say what???

Through “Family Reunification” EACH refugee, on average, brings in 10-12 family members. So let’s look at the southern border. If biden let’s in 2 million this year alone and they each bring in 10 relatives that means that we will have 42 MILLION new refugees from this year alone at the southern border.
That does not count the Afghans.

How many do you want to support? They will be on welfare forever.

My in laws who are die in the wool liberals are thinking of housing a family of these 8th century goat humpers on their ranch. My wife and her sister are fit to be tied. The son not so much since he is cut from the same liberal pile of dung.

“I thought the American government was going to take care of this.”

Apologies that someone convinced you this is a welfare state. Or register democrat and they’ll give you just enough to keep you unemployed and begging them for more.

Nope, wife unit already told her mom if she does this, do not expect to ever see her over there again.

I told papa in law he should open up a private shooting range and I would be first in line. Make it like a safari. He was not amused. Bwahahaha
