DC getting zero Afghan refugees in first wave of resettlement, as many states get 1,000+ [Hypocrite D.C. politicians want Afghan refugees in other people's cities, but not in their own]

The Biden administration wants to resettle 95,000 Afghans in the next year

Some of the loudest voices calling for the resettlement of tens of thousands of Afghan refugees in the United States have come from Washington, D.C. – and yet the nation's capital won’t be receiving any of the initial wave of refugees.

State Department data shows where the initial group of 37,000 Afghans are heading after being processed into the United States.

The Afghans are coming into the U.S. in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, which sparked an exodus of Afghans from Kabul as they fled the Taliban. Officials have said those coming in are made up of those who worked directly with the U.S. mission as well with thousands of others deemed "at risk."

California (5,255) and Texas (4,481) will receive the largest numbers of the first wave, while smaller populated states like Oklahoma and Missouri will receive 1,800 and 1,200 respectively. Michigan, Florida and Georgia will both receive more than 1,000 Afghans each. New York will receive 1,143 and Arizona will receive 1,610.

However, Washington D.C., along with Hawaii, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming, will not receive any refugees in the initial wave.

Every US war and deep-state intervention in Muslim countries has resulted in massive migrant flows to both the USA and Europe. Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and almost Egypt.

I hope the fake “war on terror” ends soon, or else we’re all going to wind up Muslim.

It’s no secret they will flood the Red States with Afghan Refugees and Illegals crossing the border....

None of them will be checked for Covid-19, basically releasing over 2 million people from all over the world into Red States with no quarantine or Covid-19 vaccines.

The DC votes can’t help swing an election.

The gov’t knows that DC residents will physically make their lives very uncomfortable unlike folks in red states who will just bitch about it on the internet.

Most, if not all, will wind up in swing sates and swing districts - you watch.

All the states that get them unannounced should put them on buses with a $50 meal ticket and tell drivers to drop them off in front of the White House and Capitol Building and in Delaware in front of Biden’s houses and them them to just go in and make yourselves at home..

Our military NOT ONLY CAN'T WIN A WAR - THEY CAN'T HIRE PEOPLE TO WORK FOR THEM WITHOUT OFFERING THEM AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP... (On top of more pay than most people receive in these third world hellholes.)

That's nuts. That's the mark of a loser.

Take incompetent cowards like Gen. 'hysterical woman' Milly and Gen 'loser/racist' Austin and TELL THEM IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT IF THEY CAN'T GET PEOPLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES to work for a paycheck they have no business being there. And the Afghans? Build beautiful high rise apartment complexes next to our damn incompetent General's mansions... Maybe that'll be an incentive NOT to lose every war and to put down the book by Marx and pick up something by Patton.

DC gets none...Martha’s Vineyard gets none...Malibu gets none...the Upper East Side of Manhattan gets none. Can anyone detect a pattern here?

They also won’t be doing away with THEIR single family zoning I’ll wager.

Washington DC deserve all of them. If Texas has a back bone, they should pack them up in an aircraft and let them loose at the airport in DC.

This article ignores that the top amount -- 6,600 -- went to Camp Atterbury and they likely won't be farmed out but instead released into Indy and SE Indy metro.
"6,603 Afghan refugees were being housed at Atterbury, said Mark Howell, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security.

The number is in line with original estimates of 5,000 to 10,000 refugees being housed at the camp.

Nearly 58% of the refugees are male, and 47% are under the age of 18. A baby was also born at the camp Sept. 9.

More than 11,600 vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella had been given to refugees at Atterbury as of Tuesday.

Officials confirmed there had been 13 confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the base, and those who tested positive are isolating with their families."

Well, you know the old saying. Play with a turd, get crap on your fingers. That’s why we should be exceedingly careful about where we get into wars. We had zero business in Somalia. Somalia had been a Soviet client state. None of the problems there had the slightest thing to do with the USA. Now half the skinnies in Black Hawk down live in Minneapolis, and they have a radical Islamic congresswoman who married her brother.

Yeah, that’s just what America needs. A bunch of low IQ afghans who hate Christianity, America, and pork. Any other bright ideas?

For 20+ years we lived in a rater affluent suburb of a major city. Totally Maoist....every front yard has a Tesla and a "Black Lives Matter" sign out front tese days. Not long before we moved out a plan was proposed to build some "affordable housing" on some open land.

The residents went ballistic! "Think of the children!",they screamed. "The traffic will kill hundreds!"

Of course nobody dared utter the real problem...all those poor folks with permanent suntans!
