A government funding bill, negotiated by Republican and Democrat lawmakers, includes spending more than $7 billion to bring an endless flow of Afghan nationals to the United States.
On Thursday, House Democrats and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) voted to fund the federal government through mid-February. The bill spends billions of dollars on President Joe Biden’s massive Afghan resettlement operation — the largest in American history, which has already brought more than 70,000 Afghans to the U.S. since mid-August.
The bill will spend more than $7 billion on Biden’s Afghan resettlement operation and leave the door open for future waves of foreign nationals who can claim to have been impacted by the administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal.
Afghans and other foreign nationals are identified as “individuals at risk” who can take part in “relocations” to the U.S. “as a result of the situation in Afghanistan,” the bill states.
The funding for Biden’s Afghan resettlement operation comes even as Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that “not all” Afghans are being vetted through standard in-person interview procedures.
“We are not conducting in-person, refugee interviews of 100 percent individuals,” Mayorkas told lawmakers last month during a hearing.
Afghans are being temporarily housed across various U.S. military bases in Texas, New Jersey, Virginia, Wisconsin, Indiana, and New Mexico. From there, they are resettled across 46 states, at a rate of about 4,000 resettled every day, as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) help to secure them jobs.
The federal government’s funding of the resettlement operation is only one faction.
Nice exit strategy, Joe Biden.
Better instead give that to AMERICANS on Social Security !!!!
Too bad he doesn’t have the same empathy for Americans running for their lives in Afghanistan.
Notice how he NEVER talks about Afghanistan anymore, even as the taliban torure and kill our former allies.
Biden is such a little bi***.
Just looky there at all them votes.
