Does anyone ever consider the cost of these quagmires in terms of ending them?
The end of the Vietnam War flooded the USA with Vietnamese and Laosian refugees. In one estimate, from 2017, an estimated 1.3 million have been resettled. In another estimate, by 2010, nearly 1.5 million overseas Vietnamese, now referred to as 'Viet Kieu', were resettled in the US. In yet another estimate, the number is 3 million. The report says these individuals are beginning to lead businesses. The remittances they are sending back home are worth $13.2 billion, thus increasing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). These money is helping Vietnam not the United States.
Now, its Afghanistan. Did the people of Wisconsin have a voice with this refugee bullshit? We haven't even recovered from the Iraq quagmire yet because we are still there. We did Sudan a little while ago. Who's next?
Who the fuck wrote into law that we have to take in refugees because of a police action. For cryin' out loud, these are not even legal wars, but police actions.
