THE TOPLINE: The Biden administration plans to send the first group of Afghans - who are being evacuated amid threats to their lives for helping U.S. troops during the war - to a military base in Virginia, a congressional aide notified about the plans confirmed Monday.
Spokespeople for the State and Defense departments later also announced the plans to send the first group of Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants to Fort Lee, Va.
"These are brave Afghans and their families, as we have said, whose service to the United States has been certified by the embassy in Kabul, and who have completed thorough SIV security vetting processes," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said at a news briefing. "They will be provided temporary housing and services as they complete the final steps in the special immigrant process."

Why Fort Lee?: For those coming to Fort Lee, the Pentagon will provide food and water, "appropriate medical care" if needed and "as much comfort as we can provide," such as providing access to religious facilities, Kirby said. The department will not need to build new housing for them on the base, he added.
Asked why Fort Lee was chosen as the initial site to house the Afghans, Kirby said the base "just made a lot of sense for a lot of different reasons."
Kirby declined to say when the first group would arrive at Fort Lee, citing security concerns.

Send them to Delaware...
Great, my neck of the woods.
Nothing better than more muslim refugees......../s
Maybe the next Ilhan Nur Said Elmi (her real name) is in this group.
We let in hordes of illegal aliens from every terrorist spot on the face of the planet. They’ve even built up enough local strength to send lunatics to Congress (Ilhan Omar). I have no problem with letting in foreigners who’ve already proven they will help the US. These Afghans helped us, and they’ll be killed by the Taliban if they stay in Afghanistan. They deserve to be let in - they’ll probably make far better Americans than some who are born here.
Afghanistan another quagmire for the USA like Vietnam. I have no problem with the Vietnamese in this country as a result of that war.
There are those who question allowing Muslims into our country equating Islam with violence and terrorism regardless of who side these folks were on.
The business interests desperate for more workers in this country don’t ask too many questions they just want to hire.
When the jihad starts here, they will follow the commands of their Prophet and chop the heads off of infidels.
I fixed it for you.
Thank you!
I know you are at least mostly correct in your surmise.
Anecdote:
I have had the experience of meeting a Iraqi translator who was evacuated after the the war there. He is someone I would embrace as a friend in a fight. He put the promise of the U.S. Constitution over his religion...whatever it may be.
He is very relieved to be here.
A good young man.
I thanked him for his service.
I think he should be setting up a giant cell phone tower in Gitmo!!!! Let the Cuban’s communicate. End round around the communist.
Never will happen. This administration doesn’t support freedom.

Ohhhhh yeah.
So, anybody remember all those blue on blue attacks? They were committed by vetted personnel, including some high ranking ones.
And immigration law will kick in and they will be allowed to bring in all their uncles, cousins, brothers, etc. Are you one of the unknown Americans who had your future death warrant signed by bringing them here?
Send them to some moslem country where they will fit in better. They have no business in America.
That’s to make room at Gitmo for all those under sealed federal indictment after Durham and Q round them up.
He’s been surreptitiously emptying Gitmo right along. The flight logs tell the tale.
Then why don't the stay and fight for their country. Bull $hit. The last thing we need in this country is more pedophile prophet cultists.
Empty Gitmo? Gitmo is twice the size it used to be and there has been a 900% increase in flights back and forth during recent months. So who’s controlling Gitmo? 🤔
Biden’s last thoughts were of Americans... ow typical of democrat thugs and fools.
Wonder how many of them will acquire guns upon release.
