81% of all Americans support resettling Afghan refugees in the U.S. This includes 79% of Trump voters and 76% of Republicans. It is not a partisan issue.

I think the fears of Afghans remaining in the country were somewhat overblown, as early signs suggest the Taliban is more interested in setting up a functional state than enacting reprisals against those who worked with the U.S. (they're nasty authoritarians, but not ISIS). That said, Afghanistan's loss is our gain.

You obviously haven’t been watching what the Taliban has been doing. There’s blood everywhere and there’s going to be more of it.

Vet them properly and get them contributing to society and it’ll be better yet.

If we must have refugees from Afghanistan, then let's put them in the following U.S. counties...


Accomack County, VA
Alameda County, CA
Albemarle County, VA
Anne Arundel County, MD
Arlington County, VA
Barnstable County, MA
Bergen County, NJ
Boulder County, CO
Buncombe County, NC
Caroline County, VA
Chaffee County, CO
Charles County, MD
Charles City County, VA
Chester County, PA
Chesterfield County, VA
Clackamas County, OR
Cobb County, GA
Culpeper County, VA
Dane County, WI
Douglas County, CO
Dukes County, MA
DuPage County, IL
Durham County, NC
Eagle County, CO
Essex County, VA
Fairfax County, VA
Fairfield County, CT
Fauquier County, VA
Fort Bend County, TX
Fulton County, GA (north)
Gloucester County, VA
Gunnison County, CO
Gwinnett County, GA
Hanover County, VA
Hartford County, CT
Henrico County, VA
Henry County, GA
Hood River County, OR
Howard County, MD
Hudson County, NJ
Isle of Wight County, VA
James City County, VA
Jefferson County, CO
Johnson County, KS
Kane County, IL
King and Queen County, VA
King George County, VA
King William County, VA
LaPlata County, CO
Lake County, CO
Lake County, IL
Lancaster County, VA
Loudoun County, VA
Maricopa County, AZ
Marin County, CA
Mathews County, VA
Middlesex County, CT
Monterey County, CA
Montgomery County, MD
Montgomery County, PA
Napa County, CA
New Haven County, CT
New Kent County, VA
Northampton County, VA
Northumberland County, VA
Oakland County, MI
Orange County, CA
Ouray County, CO
Pitkin County, CO
Prince George County, VA
Prince William County, VA
Putnam County, NY
Richmond County, VA
Rockdale County, GA
Rockand County, NY
Routt County, CO
Saguache County, CO
San Juan County, CO
San Mateo County, CA
San Miguel County, CO
Santa Barbara County, CA
Santa Clara County, CA
Santa Cruz County, CA
Snohomish County, WA
Sonoma County, CA
Spotsylvania County, VA
Stafford County, VA
Suffolk County, NY
Summit County, CO
Surrey County, VA
Tolland County, CT
Ventura County, CA
Wake County, NC
Washington County, OR
Washtenaw County, MI
Westchester County, NY
Westmoreland County, VA
Will County, IL
Williamson County, TX
York County, VA


...as well as the following independent cities in Virginia:


Alexandria
Chesapeake
Colonial Heights
Fairfax
Falls Church
Fredericksburg
Hampton
Hopewell
Manassas
Manassas Park
Newport News
Norfolk
Petersburg
Poquoson
Portsmouth
Richmond
Suffolk
Virginia Beach
Williamsburg


This would settle the refugees in areas with high proportions of globalists, rich Leftists, and employees of military contractors, as well as upper-middle-class families in counties that have flipped from Republican to Democrat in the last eight years. I think this would be an equitable distribution of the externalities of the (geo)political policies these people voted for. The Commonwealth of Virginia in particular deserves this.

Exactly. Some folks think people are sitting at home just getting freebies. This country needs workers. There aren’t enough people to fill jobs.
