Red states? Nobody's talking about politics. We're talking about Afghan refuges coming to California.

Wait, is it Trump's fault?

How many are you willing to personally host?

Well, he negotiated a sh*tty deal that left Biden no choice but to follow through on. Everything Trump touches turns to crap. Literally.

You mean the money from my personal checking account that pays my taxes? Yeah, I would prefer that went to Afghan refugees than Trumpist, rust belt rejects and meth addicts from Appalachia. ANYDAY of the week.

You keep thinking this is a gotcha question that is going to shut people up. Yawns. It's not.

I do think we know here who is not willing to host even if they were in the position to easily host.

Bottomline line is they are coming whether you like it or not. We were involved nearly 20 years in a military conflict in that country and part of the aftermath of USA pulling out, is refugees are coming to this country, including over 5,000 to this state and over 4,000 to TX.


I am not in a position to be able to host a ......so,don't bother asking

"In the months following the fall of Saigon, U.S President Gerald Ford and Congress authorized the evacuation and resettlement in the United States of approximately 140,000 refugees from South Vietnam and Cambodia. But there were many hundreds of thousands more, including former members of the South Vietnamese army and their families, who faced torture and retribution from the ruling North Vietnamese."

I am quite anti-immigration in general. But I don’t consider taking refugees in from our grossly failed imperial campaigns ‘immigration.’
