Afghan refugees begin arriving at Fort McCoy (Wisconsin)
Madison.com (Wisconsin) ^ | 22 Aug 2021 | Tribune Staff

The first Afghan refugees have arrived at Fort McCoy, one three military installations in the United States approved by the Department of Defense for temporary housing.

Sunday afternoon, special immigrant visa applicants, their families and other individuals at risk arrived, according to a press release from the base.

This is in addition to a small number of Afghans currently finalizing their processing at Fort Lee, Va.

Fort McCoy officials expect these arrivals to continue throughout Sunday and the coming days. U.S. Northern Command is working to build additional capacity at the Wisconsin base, as well as at Fort Lee, Fort Bliss in Texas and potentially other military locations as required.

Approximately 1,000 service members from multiple units of the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserve have begun to assemble at Fort McCoy to provide support to Operation Allies Refuge.

I think these Afghans could become a Republican voting block like the Cubans in Florida.
I don’t think they will ever forgive Democrat Biden for what he’s done to their country.

I've always thought that these illegals and refugees who are flown into mostly red state locales, aught to be put back on a bus by the local authorities and driven to where some of these DC democRATS live.

Load 5 or 6 greyhounds up with these folks and drive them to Obama's mansion in Martha's Vineyard and dropped them off to fend for themselves. Point to the house and say it's yours if you want it. Let them break-in, squat and live there like kings until Obama figures it out.

These liberal democRATS need to get a little of their own medicine and put their money where their mouths are.

They know. They don’t care. Or rather, they are very careful not to offend them and go after the Christians instead.

Seriously? You have to ask? I don’t want them HERE in the FIRST place, especially when our own Americans are still languishing in Afghanistan!

They’re not ‘victims.’ They’re not ‘refugees.’ They’re future terrorists IMPORTED onto our own soil by Mother Government!

But, by all means, feel free to move them into your own Hometown/Neighborhood.

We’re done here. :)

Settle all of ‘em in large apartment complexes (to be built) on Martha’s Vineyard. Let the damn ‘elite’ do their share for once.
