Hundreds of Afghan refugees are staying at a northern Virginia campus as they await relocation to a more permanent destination.

After arriving at Dulles International Airport Friday night, refugees spent the night at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, news outlets report.

These are Afghan Green card Welfare blood suckers that collect welfare but live in Kabul just like the Mexicans.

The invasion is all Taliban , Isis , Rapists , Robbers , the scum of the World.

Truer words were never spoken. Trashcanistan is truly the Somalia of Asia.

I definitely did not believe him. I was just hoping someone could corroborate the boldface lie that I thought I heard. This is the first Biden speech that I watched the whole way through and I don’t want to watch it again to check.
