I doubt any of these people are voting Democrat after escaping with their lives thanks to Joe's stupidity. I suspect they're more like Florida Cubans who escaped Castro. Do not assume all brown people are automatic D voters. Only the DNC thinks people are no more than their group's skin color identity because the DNC are racists. I prefer to judge on the content of an individual's character.

In the case of refugees, it's the law: free housing, free health care, free education. Thanks, W.

I would rather they had just kept the Aftghan war going, instead of what we have gotten. I think people thought bringing the troops home meant we were stopping the money flow. Now, both Republican and Democrats are ready to start the war again, spend hundreds of billions on refugees, give weapons to "allies" that won't pay to prove we are a good partners. Instead of ending the involvement, we are going to be spending another 5-10 trillion, and this on top of the 5 trillion of Democrat slush money scheduled to be passed next week, with support of McConnell and his Republican lackeys. The left has destroyed everything in the world. Australia and New Zealand have gone communist. There is no longer a place to emigrate.

Take ALL of them to the open state with the sincere embrace from the great people of California. They love people they can control. Doesn't matter if they bring anything to society, the Californians will give immigrants, homeless, lost birthing persons, and any variation of gender a new life, with a wonderful lifestyle all they have to do, is vote once or twice an election for the DIMS. They don't judge people on their productivity or where they come from. They judge people by the content of their character. Ask anyone pouring through the southern border. Reports indicate ICE has lengthy, in-depth conversations with each immigrant in order to gauge their character. After which they are sent immediately to California for their hug and bag of money. God bless the trolls.

5, I'm a real conservative with a lengthy history here posting as such. I don't recognize you, though. Either way, just because someone is brown or from somewhere else doesn't automatically make them have a particular belief system or vote a certain way. To say otherwise is exactly how the Democrats treat blacks. They assume all blacks are Marxist trash and any who are conservative get called Uncle Tom. I loathe and despise them for their racist one-color-fits-all philosophy and will not take up the same garbage in the opposite direction. Cubans know what the left is like. They vote heavily to the right. Afghans now know for sure what the left is like. Why should you expect them to vote left? After they had to flee because of Joe and any left behind are getting murdered and raped also thanks to Joe? Acting like a Democrat is not a good look.

I hope you are right, #13, but regardless of how they vote, Islam will be taught to their children, and some of the next generation will, without a doubt, decide to 'go in jihad', and more Americans will die. Islam is fundamentally incompatible with modern countries, and even if one generation is taught that the US is good, their children will be taught the Koran, which is a book of 'kill all others, conquer the world' in the Cliff Notes version.

President Joe Biden hailed the FDA's approval of the Pfizer vaccine as the 'moment you’ve all been waiting'–as he urged Americans who have been sitting on the fence to get their vaccine shots 'today' but dodged comment on Afghanistan. It was a welcome moment of good news for an administration battered by weeks of negative headlines, from spiking cases of COVID-19 to the collapse of the Afghan government and plunging poll numbers. And Biden, speaking at the White House, portrayed it as a huge victory even though it will be of limited practical value months after the vaccination received emergency approval.
U.S. Capitol officer cleared in fatal

The U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6 during the insurrection was cleared Monday after an internal review concluded the action may have spared the lives of lawmakers and staffers who had barricaded themselves inside the building. "The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and (U.S. Capitol Police) policies," the agency's inquiry found. The agency declined to identify the officer. Federal prosecutors decided in April not to pursue criminal charges in the case. Some who supported the Capitol siege by rioters angry about the outcome of the presidential election cast Babbitt as a martyr to the conservative cause.

As disgraced outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo packed his bags and sent his belongings to his sister’s house in his last days in office, he left something very important behind—his dog. Instead, Cuomo asked staff at his Albany mansion if they want to take care of his dog, Captain, the Albany Times Union reported, citing two state police sources. The sources also told the publication an Executive Mansion worker recently took Captain home but didn’t want to take care of the canine. The pooch—a 3½-year-old Siberian-shepherd-Malamute mix—has bitten multiple people in recent years, the Times Union reported.
