I attended a meeting today hosted by my County Supervisor. One of the attendees asked the question about how the 1,000 Afghan refugees coming to our city were being vetted to ensure they were American allies, not enemies. Our County Supervisor responded by saying we were not getting 1,000 in our City, but actually between 2 and 3 thousand. She couldn't answer the question about how they were being vetted except to say that they will not arrive in our city until after they have stopped at a military based to complete their screening and have their Visas finalized. When they arrive to our local airports our County Supervisor will then get a call that they are here and our local government will be expected to pick them up, providing them with transportation, housing and skills training so they can assimilate to society.
For those who listen to Monkey Werx it sounds like these refugees are primarily military aged men. He has some interesting if not obvious ideas about what that might mean. But let's pretend for a minute that these people are American allies and not our enemies. What I want to know is: where are American churches in all of this? What is the point of all the faith based organizations and charity groups that exist in our country if these types of situations automatically default to the responsibility of the taxpayer and the state?
Churches and charities are assisting. The question is, for what good?
I received an email from my religious group who are looking for volunteers to go to the military bases receiving Afghani refugees for a 2 to 4 week period. "Responsibilities include welcoming charter flights of evacuees and assisting with their travel to military bases, shepherding cohorts of arrivals through the processing steps, processing and adjustment of status assistance, development and provision of youth and women's activities and cultural orientation, and administrative support." (Here again, what about the men?)
The churches also "helped" at the southern border and that didn't work out too well. The way I see it is they assisted in human trafficking, even if it wasn't the intention.
We in the UK have been enduring this shit for two years straight. Every day 300 migrants turn up in dinghies on the shores of Dover with the French coast guard escorting these fuckers into our water and then we legally under EU Human Rights legislation have to pick them up and bring them to UK. All fighting age males with no women or children and better shoes and phone than i have.
Then we put them up in 4* hotels whilst the vets that fought and maimed themselves for our governments linger and die homeless on the streets.
Have you seen anything on the demographic breakdown, male vs female, children vs adults?
Especially with the cultural divide, I worry about the adult men. The western US society is a tad different from theirs. How is that going to go...
