Look at all of these attention seekers in the comments saying they will accept these people in their homes. Why didn’t they do that for the homeless women and children in America?

[oldtimefarmer]

It’s their country they should be fighting for it

My wife and I would happily put up an Afghan refugee family if they need a place to stay until they get on their feet. We've got spare rooms.

Dear Afghan refugees: The bad news is that, we know you have nothing and need money, but we're broke and have a $28 trillion national debt. The good news is that we have a printing press and a middle class that we can just tax more to support you.

In Other News: Buses still arriving from southern border.

Those who voted for Biden today they should be proud of all his achievements!!!

[lotwizzard]

wow how much is america going to spend on this?

[cosmicdjinn]

Ain’t there refugee laws that state they have to go to the closest safe country? Which would mean they can’t come the US as refugees.

[TheShootersBay]

This is a disgrace just tear the boarders down and just let anyone in anytime no matter how many. They are not going into the rich communities they are going into communities that are already struggling such a shame.

I volunteer to take in one Afganis Refugee Family into my small condo unit for free.

They use funds that could be used to help the American people to help foreign nationals that don’t like or care about America but want to benefit economically off us.

[bubetube]

Not to sound insensitive but are they vaccinated....
If they're not Im sure we can arrange for them to get

[richardmaclean]

The GOP members should be opening their doors… They paid for this.

[fromtheflightdeck]

Saigon Joe is away on vacation at the moment. Please try again later.

[silkcitysocialist]

Are they being offered covid vaccination? Or we just dropping them off in covid hotspots?

[guynelson]

Why don't we ask some of the politicians to open the doors of their mansions to the Afghan refugees?

[madboyreadynow]

I have seen many of these kids speaking with an American accent on TV. We have been in Afghanistan so long the younger generations have developed American accents. Well I guess the racist don’t have to scream learn the language.

[danielburton]

There accents even change when they talk

[theblockcat-ain]

Trump would of never allowed them to come here.
And I agree.
Afghanstan is their problem not ours.

Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney: Mission Accomplished!
