An aggressive effort in St. Louis is trying to lure Afghan refugees…. About 600 have arrived so far and another 750 are expected later this year.
Civic leaders are hopeful that over the next few years, thousands more will decide to relocate to the Midwestern city, helping to offset seven decades of population loss and rejuvenate urban neighborhoods — just as the arrival of Bosnian refugees did three decades ago.

St. Louis, the Mogadishu of Missouri, seeks to boost population with afghan refugees. What could go wrong?!?

I wonder how many Wilmington Delaware has taken in, next to Joe’s house, or near Scranton, Pa... fill ‘em up, they all speak English, remember they are TRANSLATORS and they were all vetted... Great job DHS!

Were they envious of East St. Loius's scene in National Lampoon's Vacation and wanted to one-up them?
Well, look at it this way. This is a part of America we never get to see. -That's good.
-No, that's bad. I mean, we can't close our eyes to the plight of the cities. Kids, you noticing all this plight? This will just make us appreciate what we have. [gunshot] Roll them up.

The criminals in St Louis are running out of victims- the city now has to import them.

rejuvenate urban neighborhoods — just as the arrival of Bosnian refugees did three decades ago I'm thinking, apples and oranges.

In the late ‘90’s, quiet a few Bosnian refugees came to St. Louis and settled in the city, primarily in the southside Bevo neighborhood. It only took them a few years to figure out what was going on and the fled to the county. They actually make pretty good neighbors.

“helping to offset seven decades of population loss”

So that’s it...... the unintended consequence of abortion.
(85 million Americans aborted) So let’s replace them with Afghanis. What a great idea/s

I’ve known a couple of Bosnian refugees. Good, solid hard workers. Afgans? Something else entirely.

"...offset seven decades of population loss and
rejuvenate urban neighborhoods..."
This effort won't have a happy or good ending.

This shows why population loss hysteria is even more BS than climate change.

Import Afghanis and get Afghanistan.

Oh that will boost the population all right! blonde 14 year olds will mysteriously become pregnant. Immigrant families will produce hordes of babies with their priapic husbands and 4 “wives.”

East St. Louis would be more appropriate. It’s got wide open vacant, er, green space.
