Pennsylvania prepares to help Afghan refugees resettle here after Taliban takeover
York Daily Record ^ | 08/19/21 | Kim Strong

The crisis in Afghanistan will resonate in Pennsylvania in the days and weeks ahead, as families fleeing the Taliban-led government will take refuge in resettlement areas here.

In Pittsburgh, Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS) has begun to resettle one family and is preparing for two more families that recently evacuated Afghanistan, said Ivonne Smith-Tapia, director of refugee and immigrant services for the Squirrel Hill-based JFCS.

Thousands are evacuating the country following the withdrawal of American troops there, the subsequent collapse of the government and the Taliban takeover.

In southcentral Pennsylvania, Church World Service Lancaster has sent four employees to Virginia’s Fort Lee military base, the first U.S. stop for some of the Afghan interpreters and other refugees, said Rachel Helwig, development and communications coordinator for CWS Lancaster.

A satellite image released by Maxar Technologies shows crowds of people on the tarmac at Kabul's International Airport in Afghanistan as thousands of people converged on the tarmac and airport runways to evacuate. Once called “America’s refugee capital” by BBC News, Lancaster has a strong resettlement history and a network of agencies and organizations to get refugees into homes and jobs. CWS Lancaster, a resettlement agency, has informed its global organization that it will take on some of the Afghan people fleeing their country.

CWS Lancaster is approved this fiscal year to resettle 141 people. Since 1987, it has helped refugees from more than 27 countries.

“In Lancaster, we are ready, and we are prepared,” Helwig said. “Because we have a strong history in Lancaster, we have been able to adapt and move quickly.”

Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services works with refugee service contractors in seven cities to provide refugee assistance. Those cities are: Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Scranton.

I’m going to guess they will target purple counties to tip them blue, and red counties to turn them purple.

They are backfilling the vote fraud in states they know they lost 11/3/2020 that they know the audits will reveal.

They will register all these refugees as dems.

Kabul wasn’t a goof

It was a divert and replace operation on American citizens

Jmho.

Be sure and put on your iron collar as protection for the “chop-chop” thanks you may be given in return.

That was my suspicion from the get-go of the Afghan debacle - not incompetence, but theater. They don’t care if thousands die to further their agenda. Broken eggs for the omelette.

The Jewish people have always been champions of the underdog. And that’s a very noble thing. But they should never lose sight of this simple fact: Every Muslim was raised on the Koran.

“You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, O Muslim, there is a Jew, so kill him.”

The above as an Islamic hadith (a hadith is a quote from Mohammed).

How about the lefty Jews that live in Israel?

You would think that as close to the mooselimb terrorists as they are, there would never be a lefty Jew in Israel, but sorry, they are just as nutz as American Jews.
