Hundreds of refugees from Afghanistan arrive at Philadelphia International Airport

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Hundreds of refugees from Afghanistan arrived at Philadelphia International Airport early Saturday morning.

Action News has learned between 250 and 300 refugees have landed.

Officials from Homeland Security, the Red Cross and Philadelphia's emergency management are all assisting the new arrivals with their paperwork and COVID-19 testing.

Philadelphia is just one of two selected cities to receive refugees.

According to airport officials, the refugees will be heading to New Jersey's Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which has now been dubbed "Operation Task Force Liberty."

"To date, Task Force Liberty has supported 1,192 Afghans who are being housed in a mix of hard and soft-sided structures. Final capacity there is expected to be at least 10,000," said General Glen Vanherck of Northcom.

But some are likely to make a stop at pier five in Camden, New Jersey. That's where a warehouse is being converted into a shelter should the joint base run into delays.

"Basically, that staging area will provide food, necessities, and medical care," said Camden County spokesman Dan Keeshan.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney's office says this operation is led by the federal government. They are collaborating to give refugees access to local immigration services, along with housing and medical assistance.

"Philadelphia stands in solidarity with Afghan refugees, and we look forward to providing them a safe haven in our welcoming city," said Kenney in a statement Thursday.

On Friday night Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said this is an honor.

"These folks have suffered greatly. They're traumatized, with children with them. We just want to have open arms and a welcoming atmosphere," said Kenney.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy established a task force Friday to aid Afghan refugees coming into the state.

Murphy, a Democrat, signed an executive order creating the Task Force on Afghan Refugee Assistance with the aim of ensuring New Jersey is prepared to receive and assist those coming into the state.

New Jersey's Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is currently receiving Afghans, with military officials proposing taking up to 9,500 people for up to a year.

In a letter to President Biden, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf said, "My administration has and continues to collaborate with the federal government and local refugee resettlement agencies to connect refugees resettled in Pennsylvania with benefit programs and supportive services."

Refugees will undergo background checks and security screenings done by U.S. intelligence. After they are cleared, they will be relocated to the United States, and upon arrival they will receive Covid vaccines.

Coming soon to your town...

Unasimilatable, Paleolithic men of fighting age, who are rowdy, voilent, and view charity as weakness to be ruthlessly exploited.

These goons have no idea what indoor plumbing is (much less showering, tiolet paper, and doing laundry) trash bags, penning livestock, or that it's frowned upon to light indoor fires here.

Rapes, pubic defication and urination, spitting, and littering, what wonderful neighbors they'll be.

Generational dependence on welfare, gernerational illiteracy, and with an average IQ of 84, generations of retarded, but sure fire democrat voters.

Think "Little Kabul/Khandahar/Herat" won't spring up near you, because they'll infest the inner cities? It's a "nation" that's 85% rural or nomadic, and we're not bringing in the urbane/erudite members of Kabul's High Society, quite the opposite.

They're heading for the small town, suburban/rural communities to sling up their mud huts.

Rescued by private organizations, not by the cold-blooded, cruel Biden regime, which is interfering to stop anyone from being rescued.

Depends on what your definition of "American" is.

The civilized ones, with civilized families, were out of there long before May 1st. The ones there now, are people who had a brother/sister/cousin/neighbor who hit the immigration lottery. They come over every 4 months, collect their welfare/social security checks, sell their food stamps, re-establish their residency and head straight on back to their al-Haquani Network/Taliban strongholds, where acting like a barbarian isn't frowned upon.
