You all want to guarantee that the rest of the world thinks we suck? This is how you do it by the numbers.
How many are you going to take in and hire?

this group of people might actually really need to be here, especially the ones who helped our soldiers.

Actually, the foreigners we are letting in are actually more patriotic than the stupid citizens we have here who are in name only - citizens of the USA - but hate America. Im speaking of BLM, Antifa, some congresspeople, who actaully HATE America.. Add in Kappernick, the stupid Olympics idiots who dissed the American flag.. i think the foreigners should be traded for them and we will be better off. Send the idiots to Afganistan.

But I guess to you Trumpers "America First" means kick in the teeth any former allies who helped our men and women in the military survive the deadly Afghanistan war. How very typical of you and how very dishonorable and disgusting.

Here's what that commie newspaper The Stars and Stripes had to say about this story:



Thank God Biden is now president. Trump would just have called them Muslim thieves and rapists and left them to the tender mercies of the Taliban as Trump supporters wildly cheered Trump's cruelty.
Prove it. Your post is dishonest and has no value. Start caring about the truth

He wore our uniform, our flag. He did over 1300 missions for our country, under our advisors.

These people supported us, fought for our causes. If not for us, they could have stayed in their villages, and not been targets for hatred and revenge.

We went there, we stirred up this hornet's nest, and they helped us achieve our goals.

How about doing both? These Afghanis helped us and deserve not to die for doing so. Likewise, we have a domestic homeless problem that needs to be addressed.

Why are you blaming lefties for wanting to help the Afghanis? Don't you righties want to support our troops? These Afghanis supported our troops and you want to let them die?

This is a very difficult question on what do we do.

First of all, none of them would have to come to the US if we would’ve just stayed in AFG indefinitely like we should be doing.

Apparently, staying indefinitely in Qatar, UAE, KSA, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, and Turkey is perfectly ok, but staying indefinitely in AFG is somehow not ok?

But what if I told you that Biden is playing you? Imagine accepting tens of thousands of Afghan refugees into the US, but then at the same time unofficially staying in the country with enough forces to prevent the fall of Kabul?

I hope they keep the afghani's safe from all the negative sentiments against the far east and associated racism.

As such, they should be settled in multi-cultural, diverse and racially tolerant parts of the country far away from Trump supporters like Brooklyn or LA where they will be safe from that sort of bigotry.

###sarcasm abounds

I love internet tough guys like you. "Period... End of story..." You love to toss out pejoratives and denigrate people, even when you have no clue who you are talking to.

You should really get out and talk to the homeless population. I have. I actually donate my time to an organization that feeds them. I am also a disabled veteran who was injured in the Gulf War.
What are you doing for this country? To take care of our own? Anything?

These people have earned a chance at a life in America. More so than those who sit on their butts, playing video games, and whining about how "oppressed they are" in America.

Just great...more future terrorists. I'm moving out to the unibombers old shack in the woods. Or, maybe that delapidated old empty school bus out in Alaska. The less humans around me, the better.
