Well Joe left a lot of cool toys back there. Rocket launchers, fully automatic rifles and a host of other goodies Santa Claus won’t leave me. it makes me want to go there to see what I can find.

What will these kids grow up to be??? In this environment it has all the appearances of turning out young terrorists anxious for revenge against a country which has caused great trauma to impressionable kids.

from the article:
“..In spite of Heartland’s efforts, the shelter has been the scene of a series of troubling incidents, described in police records, internal documents and interviews. In emails sent to management and staff last week, one shelter worker wrote that the young Afghans were “displaying behavior that I have not seen in my almost five years at [Heartland].” Another wrote that police and ambulance workers had been on site “a record amount over the last few days and weeks alone.”

Maybe they should talk to my President Donald J. Trump, when he’s back in the WH! He’s much nicer than what’s stunk up the place.

I’m sure it’s nothing $450,000 wouldn’t take care of.

40? Just 40? These non profits sign up for this crap. Now they claim the system is broken...sounds like they are broken.

Get/hire somebody that speaks the language...I mean come on...yall hauled over a bunch of Afghanis...

Sound like a play for money.

Lots of genetic inbreeding in Afghanistan with everything that goes with it. Just sayin’.

"and cultural barriers"

Crapping anywhere they feel like?

The underlying premise of the article is that they deserve to be here. They do not, and neither do many or most of their parents.

They need to adapt to their environment, and not the other way around.

[Bigg Red]

Definitely.

Sodomy

[lee martell]

I wonder, have any of them begging ‘to be sent back’ actually gotten their wish? Most do not belong here. The cultures are too different without some level of preperation.

[gundog]

Chicago. Sounds like they’re assimilating nicely.

[Tennessee Nana]

displaying what behavior ???

[Lurkinanloomin]

Send Them Back.
