The last of the 76,000 Afghan evacuees pulled out of the country last summer have finally been released into the U.S., the government announced over the weekend — just as a report said not all were fully vetted.
The Pentagon’s inspector general said some secretive Defense Department databases weren’t initially available to screeners. As a result, dozens of people with “significant security concerns” reached the U.S.
Officials had no idea where most of them were, the inspector general said in an audit late last week.
“Not being able to locate Afghan evacuees with derogatory information quickly and accurately could pose a security risk to the United States,” the inspector general concluded.
It has been nearly six months since the conclusion of the Afghanistan airlift, capping off a chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops after a 20-year war.
The Biden administration brought more than 76,000 Afghan evacuees out of their home country, sent them through transit points for initial screenings and then brought them to refugee camps at eight military bases on U.S. soil.
The final two camps emptied out last week, and the Afghans were settling in communities across America, the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday.
It marked the largest surge of migrant resettlement in a half-century, the State Department said.
Resettlement advocates cheered the news as the capstone to a “herculean effort” of evacuation but warned that successful integration of the migrants continues.
“We remain confident we can rise to the occasion in light of the overwhelming compassion and generosity of Americans across the country who have answered the call to help. Their message has been crystal clear: Afghan refugees are welcome here,” said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, one of numerous agencies working to resettle Afghans.

Background checks?
What would that comprise? A quick smoke signal to the local goat humper in the alleged village of origin?
Somehow I don’t think the concept of an ENTNAC has made it to the wilds of Afshagistan
Amazing how not one of the “refugees” failed the “background check.”
Feature, not a fault!
They can now be given fast track citizenship followed by military entrance and use against...us.
Are all our citizens out?
Don’t worry, Joe Biden only picked the best 75,000
Honestly, why should anyone care anymore.
The people we elect to represent us and look out for us, at every level, couldn’t care less. Even if they get somewhere with good intentions, eventually they’re corrupted by the ability to profit from their position and their ability to say Yes or No on projects, applications, whatever.
That being said, let the Afghans go wherever they want, do what they want. So what. Let them rape, pillage, assault, murder, blow up harass, whatever. No one cares.
If you live in a state like Georgia, where your Governor initially wanted them , walked that back, but get them anyway, when they wreak havoc, blame him or whoever.
The voters are the ones that have allowed this to happen. No one else.
Without any easily accessible support system, it is a given that some of these people will resort to some level of criminal behavior just to survive. They should not be here, but they are. They and their dependants will need the basic necessities. If the government does not make it clear how to get these needs met, there will be others who will, but for a price. This is how Indentured Servants came to be after the Civil War. People bound to serve someone due to a debt owed.
Probably not soon, since it takes a while to get all the ingredients together, but.....
Umm...what about the 3,000,000+ illegal let in?
They don't count?
And have Catholic Charities build them a mosque so Biden can share the call to prayer 6 times a day with his neighbors.
