If one of President Biden’s 100,000 Afghan “refugees” with a fistful of cash and brand new driver’s license runs a red light and kills your family, you should know who to blame. You can start with the 49 Republicans who voted to spend more than $6 billion to import them.
Yesterday, 34 Republicans in the House and 15 in the Senate OK’d Kabul Joe’s plan.
The move is not unexpected. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell and his sidekick from Nebraska, Ben Sasse, both vowed to let the Afghans live in their neighborhoods, which really meant they would live in your neighborhood, and you’d have the privilege of paying for it.
Frightening thing is, the 49 who voted for the bill have learned nothing from the crimes that Afghans are already committing here. Europe’s unpleasant experience means nothing.
The Plan
Biden’s resettlement plan will put 95,000 Afghans into American communities during the next year, and spend $6.4 billion to do so.
So Biden and his GOP enablers want to spend almost $68,000 for every Afghan they import into the country.
“The funding for Biden’s resettlement operation was slipped into a government funding bill and will give public benefits like welfare, housing assistance, medical coverage, and state-issued driver’s licenses to tens of thousands of newly-arrived Afghans,” Breitbart reported.
Continued Breitbart:
The Republican lawmakers backed the funding provisions despite overwhelming opposition to Afghan resettlement from Republican and Republican-leaning voters. The latest Pew Research Center survey shows that 63 percent of GOP voters oppose the Afghan resettlement.
Already … 40,800 Afghans are temporarily living at eight U.S. military bases in Texas, Virginia, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Indiana, and New Jersey.
The sheer number of Afghans is bad enough. But what the government is providing is a major national-security concern. “Specifically, the provision giving IDs and driver’s licenses allow Afghans to skirt vital national security requirements put in place after the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks, according to some lawmakers and expert Andrew Arthur,” the website reported.
“I will leave it up to others to decide whether giving massive amounts of cash to aliens who have no real status in the United States is a good idea or not,” Arthur wrote for the Center for Immigration Studies:
My main concern is the fact the [funding bill] makes paroled Afghan nationals eligible for driver’s licenses and identification cards, even if they are barred from receiving them under a law passed to protect the American people against national-security risks.…
Section 202(b)(2)(C) of the REAL ID Act requires states to ensure that applicants for driver’s licenses have lawful status in the United States (including citizenship or a green card). Section 2502 in the [funding bill] would explicitly waive that requirement — not for you, or for those green card holders — but rather exclusively for paroled Afghan nationals.
Breitbart helpfully provided the names of the Republicans who voted to saddle Americans with the $67,348 per-person tab.
Of course, Afghans aren’t the only refugees Americans are expected to support, Breitbart observed:
Refugee resettlement costs taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years. Over the course of a lifetime, taxpayers pay about $133,000 per refugee and within five years of resettlement, roughly 16 percent will need taxpayer-funded housing assistance.
Over the last 20 years, nearly a million refugees have been resettled in the nation — more than double that of residents living in Miami, Florida, and it would be the equivalent of annually adding the population of Pensacola, Florida.
Afghan Crime
Again, the Republicans went along with Kabul Joe despite reports that “refugees” are already committing crimes. Authorities arrested two at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin; one for molesting two boys, another for abusing his wife. Authorities at Dulles airport caught a rapist and aggravated robber.
But those crimes at Fort McCoy are almost certainly just the beginning.
Writing for the National Interest in 2017, Cheryl Bernard explained what happened in Austria when leftist do-gooders flooded the continent with angry Afghan “refugees.” They “were committing sex crimes to a much greater extent than other refugees,” she wrote. They routinely gang rape women and underage girls.
“They are motivated by a deep and abiding contempt for Western civilization,” Bernard wrote:
To them, Europeans are the enemy, and their women are legitimate spoils, as are all the other things one can take from them: housing, money, passports. Their laws don’t matter, their culture is uninteresting and, ultimately, their civilization is going to fall anyway to the horde of which one is the spearhead. No need to assimilate, or work hard, or try to build a decent life here for yourself — these Europeans are too soft to seriously punish you for a transgression, and their days are numbered.
And it’s not just the sex crimes, my friend notes. Those may agitate public sentiment the most, but the deliberate, insidious abuse of the welfare system is just as consequential. Afghan refugees, he says, have a particular proclivity to play the system: to lie about their age, to lie about their circumstances, to pretend to be younger, to be handicapped, to belong to an ethnic minority when even the tired eye of an Austrian judge can distinguish the delicate features of a Hazara from those of a Pashtun.
Writing for CIS in August, Jason Richwine explored the coming “culture clash” with these polling data:
• 99 percent of Afghans polled want Sharia law to be the law of the land;
• 85 percent want to stone adulterers;
• 79 percent want apostates punished with death; and
• 60 percent advocate honor killing.
These are the people on which 49 Republicans voted to spend $6.4 billion.
When the rapes and honor killings begin, perhaps we can ask McConnell and Sasse how many Afghans live in their neighborhoods.
