Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Biden Must Resettle At Least 200K Afghans in U.S.
Breitbart ^ | Aug 25 | John Binder

Posted on 08/25/2021 6:39:57 PM PDT by RandFan

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says President Joe Biden’s administration must resettle at least 200,000 Afghans across the United States as part of its withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In an interview with The Independent, Ocasio-Cortez urged Biden to set a floor of 200,000 visas for Afghans to be evacuated from Afghanistan and brought to the U.S. for permanent resettlement and eventual naturalized American citizenship.

Should Biden implement such a plan, resettling 200,000 Afghans would be the equivalent of bringing 4.5 percent of the total number of Afghans residing in Kabul, Afghanistan, to the U.S.

Ocasio-Cortez stated:

“I believe we need to move and the administration needs to move as quickly as possible and as expansively as possible ensuring that we are raising the amount of refugee visas to whatever amount is necessary,” the self-described democratic socialist congresswoman told The Independent.

“I would say the rock bottom is 200,000, but I think it should be whatever is necessary,” Ms Ocasio-Cortez said. “And that needs to be expedited as soon as possible.”

Making America into North Mexico isn’t good enough for AOC, she wants us to be East Afghanistan.

The problem is that these 200k are not vetted.

In theory, if the vetting had started taking place months ago, you could probably find 200k Afghanis who would make better U.S. citizens than many U.S. citizens.

After all, they know tyranny when they recognize it.

If 200K well-vetted Afghanis had been taken in 5 years ago, we might have 200K more people standing up against mask mandates and such in school board meetings.

In theory...if they were vetted properly, such as having 5 U.S. soldiers who knew them and could speak for them.

Is AOC aware that Afghan men have been known to rape European Women without mercy?

Oh, wait, never mind…….I’m sure she knows.

Perhaps her district has room available? She’d like that.
