Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) this week celebrated the White House’s request to accept hundreds of Afghan refugees following the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, proclaiming it to be “our obligation and our duty to ensure these Afghan refugees feel welcome” in his state.
“Yesterday afternoon, my administration was informed by the White House that our state will soon be asked to accept as many as 310 Afghan refugees for resettlement in Connecticut,” Lamont said in a statement on Thursday, emphasizing he welcomes the Afghans “with open arms into our wonderful state.”
He continued:
In anticipation of this moment, I directed the Connecticut Department of Social Services, under the leadership of Commissioner Deidre Gifford, to work with our partners across state government, the federal government, and at the local level to ensure all of the necessary resources are available and ready to provide support to these men, women, and children making the long trip to Connecticut from Afghanistan. It is our obligation and our duty to ensure these Afghan refugees feel welcome in our state, and we will work to ensure they have everything they need from food and shelter to education and job training.
“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has ensured Connecticut that these individuals will have all been vetted, in addition to having all necessary vaccinations, including for COVID-19,” he continued.
This is NOT their country & we don’t want OUR country to be Afghanistan either !!!! Let Canada have them !!!!
What a dipshit to welcome them with open arms and they have not been vetted nor will they be, plus all the covid and diseases they bring in with them. Our stupid president tells everyone to get vaccinated, yeah right, well start with closing the damn borders and quit letting all the diseases in.
They should not be allowed to leave the borders of Connecticut . Make them remain within that state and use their state money to house, feed, clothe , educate and medicate them.
RINO Lockdown Larry is doing the same thing in Maryland just like KKK member Ralphie Northam is doing in Virginia!
Question: Why does the State GOP continue to support Lockdown Larry the RINO??
