President Joe Biden’s administration may balloon the number of Afghans set to be resettled across the United States following the withdrawal of U.S. Armed Forces from Afghanistan.

Excellent article.

Even “Sanctuary Cities” ?

Now every state will be like Minnesota and have their very own versions of little Mogadishu.

violent ghettos coming to a city near you. Crime will be a top 2 or 3 issue in 2022.

Days ago, Pentagon officials stated up to 22,000 Afghans — mostly applying for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) and the newly-created P-2 visa — would be arriving at three military bases: Fort Lee in Virginia, Fort Bliss in Texas, and Fort McCoy in Wisconsin.

On Thursday, though, refugee resettlement agencies told the Washington Post the number of Afghans “seeking evacuation through a U.S. visa program” is closer to 100,000 and could be as high as 300,000.

In September 2019, former President Trump issued an executive order that gave state governors, county officials, and local governments the power to veto refugee resettlement in their communities. The order was a major win for activists, specifically in Tennessee, who had fought the Obama administration for its dumping of refugees across the state without any input from the governor, mayors, and local citizens.

In early February 2020, Biden rescinded Trump’s order.

refugee resettlement agencies are enemies of the US

Biden shows his stupidity again.

[jeffc]

Yeah, didn't some Dem judge rule that Trump couldn't put refugees in the so-called sanctuary cities (which claimed sanctuary status just for those "refugees", and then reneged!).

Why doesn't that ruling apply to Dems?

I want to know who are the people (not their names but the reasons they were the first ones to get on an evacuation plane through the chaos at the Kabul airport). that were flown out on those huge planes, especially the 500 or so mostly military age males sitting on the floor on the plane. They were flown to military bases in the US. How well will they be vetted before they are released all around the country to communities whether they want them or not. Some should be given all the protections we give to refugees, but all of them?

[shaven_llama]

I bet the majority will be dumped in Texas and Florida.

[Ken Regis]

It needed doin’

Thanks for alerting me.

Honors to YOU, sir.

“Elites’ in DC and Martha’s Vineyard have told Biden NO WAY IN THEIR BACK YARD... and Biden agreed.

THEY have a say....

Yep, the Afghans will be settled in red states... in flyover and the ‘elites’ will get off on heaping MORE misery on powerless citizens stupid enough to continue electing them...

[maxwellsmart_agent]

I did not vote for him.

[dsrtsage]

cities and towns are about to become a hell of a lot more rapey unless the women wear masks

[FES0844]

The slow death of America. Heartbreaking to watch and feel so helpless. 🙏🙏

[GOPJ]

No, Biden and his Marth’s Vineyard commies won’t put the millions of Afghans in dem cities... they’ll put them in Red States so a little of their hatred for working people is satisfied.

trust me - it won’t be ‘fair’...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

We the People always have a veto power. The 2nd Amendment ensures it.
