President Joe Biden’s administration is asking Congress to authorize about $6.4 billion in American taxpayer money to bring 95,000 Afghans to the United States for permanent resettlement.
In a call with reporters on Tuesday, administration officials said the White House would request Congress to authorize about $6.4 billion in funding to resettle tens of thousands of Afghans across the U.S.
Pro-mass migration groups had asked Biden to authorize $8 billion in funds for Afghans.
Roughly $1.7 billion of the funding will go toward “funding and resources to the Afghans to help them set up a new home in the U.S.,” NBC News reports. In total, the administration official said they have already brought 65,000 Afghans to the U.S. for permanent resettlement over the last month and expect to bring an additional 30,000 Afghans to the U.S.
The administration’s goal to resettle in the U.S. about 95,000 Afghans is the first glimpse into Biden’s massive resettlement operation — the largest since former President Barack Obama brought more than 12,000 Syrians to the U.S. from 2012 to 2016.
Though Biden has pitched the Afghan resettlement as a commitment to the nation’s allies in the Afghanistan War, the overwhelming majority of Afghans arriving in the U.S. do not qualify for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) or even P-2 visas. Those visa programs are reserved only for Afghans and their families who worked directly for the U.S. Armed Forces.
Instead, the majority of Afghans are arriving on “humanitarian parole” and some are coming on refugee status. An estimated 50,000 Afghans will be brought to the U.S. as parolees where they will stay at a number of U.S. military bases and receive one-time $1,250 payments.
Hell no!!!!
Pay that to the HOMELESS AMERICANS in all the cities !!!!
That should go to OUR social security & other needed American causes !!! Not Foreigners !!
Time to Make our Fkkking ALLIES take them for a change > NOT HERE !!!! America is FULL !!!!!
Just what we need. More foreign illegals that we will have to pay taxes for in order for them to be able to do nothing. Should send them back and send Biden along with them
And yet he will get it and we will be paying for it
This from the same crowd bitching and crying about leaving the same people to the fate of the Taliban.
Doesn’t mean the US has to spend billions on them. And the thousands pouring over the border?? Sorry I don’t want to pay for them either?♀️ And I bet you are all for mandated vaccines but only for Americans. You’re fine with the illegals being placed by the thousands in our communities without a vaccine as long as Americans are vaccinated right? You’re a special kind of stupid. I’m sure your a Biden voter. You should be embarrassed ?
Watch your Bank Accounts. That is what will be next to pay for all these ILLEGALS!!!
Almost $68,000 per refugee! That is totally unacceptable! Give me $60,000! I’ma tax paying citizen and will redistribute back into the economy! Freaking unbelievable!
Biden and the SOCIALIST Democrats should be giving this 6.4 Billion to US born Senior citizens, homeless VETs, Homeless children and the homeless while making the want to be homeless, not homeless VETs, have a job before receiving these benefits.
Put some of this money into SSI to keep it solvent, not used for Supplemental Security Income for the Lazy welfare bums.
Why should the US tax payer support these anarchist that should be in a country of their own culture instead of the US for them to destroy? CUT ALL FORIEGN AIDE TO THESE COUNTRIES.
How about Re-settling Homeless AMERICANS with this Money instead !!!!!
The Big Guy needs to take some of crooked Hunter’s money to pay for that.
While cutting off Stimulus for Americans !!!! Still have Homeless Americans too & the Unemployed ones too !!
Cutting Military & giving this to the ENEMY !!!
