Why not? The do not really have a background that meshes with our culture. Take notice how they will be kept out of the blue states. The President is a fink. |

The Pennsylvania governor just announced that Pennsylvania is welcoming Afghan refugees with open arms. Lucky you If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Because we occupied their country for about 20 years, fomenting war. Understandably many of them chose to side with the USA, and now that choice could lead to their death. They helped us: we OWE them this. It's a matter of national honor, and if the republicans try to mine this lode it will bite them in the butt. |

Nope. Remember how Jimmy Carter thought the Mariel Boat Lift was a great idea? Other than "Scarface" nothing good came out of it. The President is a fink. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | I believe the figure is about 100,000 Afghans that were airlifted out. Yet they say we left a large percentage of the 'SIVs' behind, the interpreters and so on. Even if we got all the SIVs, that would presumably be the 17,000 that applied for that status, see link. So let's say we got all 17,000 out. What comprises the other 80,000+ ??? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/we-will-kill-you-thousands-afghans-who-helped-u-s-n1266744 I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Take notice how Duffman is always wrong about everything. Number of Afghan refugees going to each state. Hopefully Mississippi and Alabama aren’t each overrun by their 10 refugees. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Normally after a few years all the resettled refugees will move and concentrate in a few large cities. Seldom do they stay where the government originally settles them. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
