EXCLUSIVE Afghans are leaving U.S. military bases before resettlement
Reuters ^ | October 1, 2021 | By Phil Stewart and Mica Rosenberg

WASHINGTON - Something unexpected is happening at U.S. military bases hosting Afghan evacuees: Many hundreds of them are simply leaving before receiving U.S. resettlement services, two sources familiar with the data told Reuters.

The number of "independent departures," which top 700 and could be higher, has not been previously reported. But the phenomenon is raising alarms among immigration advocates concerned about the risks to Afghans who give up on what is now an open-ended, complex and completely voluntary resettlement process.

In the speed and chaos of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August following 20 years of war, many evacuees were brought into the United States under a temporary status of "humanitarian parole." Once transferred to U.S. military bases, refugee resettlement groups and U.S. officials have been trying to connect people with services for a smooth transition to the United States.

In a statement, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson declined to comment on the figures provided to Reuters by sources but said people who had left the bases "generally" had ties to the United States, like family members of friends, and resources to support themselves.

We haven’t even begun to see the damage from this fradulent old coot. Just hope it is appropriately distributed toward those who voted for or enabled His Fraudulency. So far off to a good start with public sector unions, France and the Chamber of Commerce.

Allow 10,000 Swedes to enter the US, is a blessing to us.
Allow 10,000 Hindus to enter the US, is a blessing to us.
Allow 10,000 Philpinos or Japanese to enter the US, is a blessing to us.
Allow 10,000 Greeks, French, Italians, Germans to enter the U, is a blessing to us.
Allow 10,000 Moslems into the US, is a disaster to us.

I guess the Afghans are smarter than one would expect. Instead sitting still in gov. run places and waiting for the government to take care about them, they just go on their ovn!
Looks like they are more American than the Americans.

Unless of course they are terrorists who snuck onto planes. Now we don’t know they are or WHERE they are.

Have you ever tried to sneak into Germany or Belgium or Portugal? Or most any other European country? It’s highly regulated and the vaunted Europeans don’t allow people to just saunter in and live any ol’ place they choose?

Even their “refugees” are followed closely.

My guess is, these are young men and they aren’t running off to take a job or to go to college. They are Taliban terrorists Biden invited here so they can bring their war to America.

Terrorists? 6 men are terrorists. 10,000 is an army.

I expect the Afghans will seize a rural region somewhere. The mountains of New Mexico or Arizona would be the most like home.

The fed gov will do nothing and the media will present it as fair compensation for what we did in Afghanistan.

The departing ISIS members will be heading to their designated locations waiting for the signal to begin their terrorism on a more horrific scale than 9/11, thanks to Dementiajoe, the SECDEFComPoop, Milley, McKenzie, and Demonicrats everywhere.

I am shocked that people from some third world shit-hole with a corrupt backwards 7th century culture that has no problem with beating women and buggering little boys are not follow the rules. What next? Will we find out the sun rises in the East and that water is wet?

The risk to Afghans isn't the kind of risk that comes to my mind.

How about a 1 to 1 swap for each "immigration advocate" to be removed to the 4th world pit of said immigrant?

The borders would close all by themselves.

It’s only “unexpected” if you’re a complete moron.

They will NOT assimilate, for any reason, except to hide the terrorists among them, from view. They will form enclaves, like Dearborn and Hamtramck etc etc etc.They will be absorbed into existing terror cells and wait for their “go orders” to attack “soft targets” all over America.
