“Please be aware that the cost of living and the availability of housing can vary significantly in different locations across the United States,” the department’s website read. “The Washington, DC metro area including northern Virginia and some cities in California are very expensive places to live...

....The webpage used to display a list of 19 “welcoming communities” for Afghans fleeing the Taliban, but now only suggests that refugees steer clear of the “very expensive places to live” according to WMTV.

The Hamptons sounds like an excellent place to drop them off.

Martha’s Vineyard should have their fair share too.

Yep. Opting for low-cost red areas. And people are going to let it happen. Tough. You let the DEMs steal the elections. This is the result.

All.

All of them.

Put all of them in tent cities on Martha’s Vineyard.

Perfect place for them.

How many well paid jobs anywhere in the USA would go to mostly non english speakers, likely devoid of any education at all.

They need fresh meat.

Liberals will claim that the leaders in charge in these red states are not ok with diversity and lay the blame on them not the criminals. Take Ron Desantis for example, he’s doing a great job but liberals lie and they are trying to destroy him, truth be damned.

Translation: We don’t need you in those urban areas already in our firm control - get ye to a swing State, or some Republican area we are working to target.
