Really the Fed can do all that for $2,275 each?
Can smell the BS from here.
$2,275 each? That won't even scratch the surface of the real costs, which means the Feds plan on hiding the cost or stick the states and cities with the cost of losing the war.
Probably more by tenfold.
Possibly less than what we paid for all that military equipment we left for the Taliban though.
If you think only 2,220 read this
What we know (and what we don’t) about resettlement-related costs
— $18.2 million to serve 10,740 refugee households in MFIP. Federal and state money
— $15 million to serve 18,630 refugees in SNAP. Federal.
— $1.2 million to serve 982 refugees in GA. State.

Refugee cash assistance
Some refugees are eligible to apply for additional federal cash assistance dollars. In 2015, the feds spent $890,000 on 1,150 refugees.
just a few read the article..Somalis
thats per month ?
But we can’t get all Americans out of Afghanistan.
The Federal Government is full of crap.Their going to dump these “refugees”on the states and the state and local Taxpayers are going to have to pay for these unwanted people.
I just wish they would go to Rat run cities and States. They made this mess.They should pay for it.
Laughable. It’ll be twenty to fifty times that amount. They’ll get off the plane and get a 1200 dollar check.
And yeah, sure, 50,000. Lol
That’s probably PER MONTH
That’ll encourage about half the world’s population to “flee” here.
Hmmmmm....I wonder what the US did for evacuated Vietnamese??
Yeah, per week maybe.
50,000 Huh?
Already 25,000 of them at Ft. Bliss alone, and there are several other military bases taking them in.
Biden bragged about having evacuated 125,000 of them.
Where are the other 75,000 going?
(Already being quietly dispersed into ‘middle america’ I bet.
White House aides:
“Ok. Phase one. Get our people out to see how many rubes really believed it.”
“Then give the script to Psaki to say some may be higher such as disabled children and helpless grieving pregnant widows. I understand that Republicans may oppose that humanitarian funding, of course.”
“Phase 3 add the actual millions of dollars labeled infrastructure to page 959 of the bill.”
“Do you want a PB&J sandwich or baloney?......”My father says I must kill the infidel.”....”Oh Ok great hey listen stop staring at my sister like that....”
The Bidet Regime couldn’t get U.S. citizens out of Afghanistan before turning control over to the Taliban, but it could remove tens of thousands of noncitizens so they can receive millions in government assistance. Really? This is just more proof that the 2020 election was rigged, because this regime cares nothing about its own citizens. The ruling elites of the this regime will continue to live in their walled enclaves while ordinary citizens need to deal with the criminals being imported into the general population. When they finally get arrested, the citizens will pay for their public defenders, and the costs of their incarceration. This is lose-lose all around, accept for the globalist elites who want the cheap labor.
How many will be coming via the Canadian express.
No, we’ll end up with at least 500,000 Afghans, each costing us $25,000. That will not include the cost of imprisoning several thousand or paying for the crimes that many thousands of them will inflict on American citizens.
