The United States is building “small cities” on military bases across the country temporarily to house the Afghan evacuees who fled their home country in the final days and weeks of August.

The eight military installations that are being used to house Afghan refugees currently have approximately 25,600 people with a capacity of 36,000, though they are still short of the 50,000 goal, Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of Northcom, said during Friday’s briefing...

And how many of these Afghans will be wanting to pull a Hassan Ft. Hood incident?

This being the year 2021, I would expect a couple of these refugees to have phones, or figure out how to obtain one.
I hope the military has somebody or some AI ‘thing’ monitoring those phones calls and messages. It would be foolish not to.

Not all of these folks are 100% primative as we see the meaning of that term. If there are teenagers around, they will find some phones or texting devices.
All teens love to gab or complain to a peer.

When I lived in Berlin refugees were house at the Templehof airport. It was turned in to a violent sewer.

I have zero desire to see them spread around the USA, but the longer they are together in a group, the worse that will be also

Its a lose-lose situation. They kind that only Fed.gov can create.

They said they’re going to have to reduce our Social Security payments a couple of years earlier than originally predicted. But they have money for this, to bring over tens of thousands of illiterate, disease carrying, low IQ and few job skills primitives who will likely never assimilate into American culture. Where are the muzzlime countries stepping up to take in their own?

I can’t even believe this is happening.

That whole “take our country back” thing is really not likely to ever happen, no matter how much folks feel good saying it.

Just and idea: perhaps they should put them in the US bases in Germany; then simply leave them behind when the troops pull out.

Will air traffic controller towers be used to project the call to prayer 5 times a day?

A Competent government would have placed the following conditions on their ‘refugee’ status.

The have 6 months grace period to find another country to move to. The default is a parachute over Pakistan.

Within those 6 months there is no shari’a law, no burqas, no female genital mutilation, no honor killings, no mosques.

If they publicly denounce Islam they may apply for a visa to allow them become US immigrants, with no right of chain migration outside of immediate family as shown by blood test.

Commit a rape and you are set out at sea on a small boat well beyond US boundaries with 5 days provisions. May Allah be merciful to your plight.
