Axios: The Afghan refugee crisis is about to get much worse
Tens of thousands of Afghan refugees will soon need to find new homes, and many countries are preemptively closing their doors.
Why it matters: The U.S. is leading what the White House calls one of the biggest airlift in history as Afghans flee from Taliban rule. That exodus will quickly become a humanitarian crisis involving the U.S., Europe and parts of Asia and the Middle East.
What to watch: The U.S. is preparing to bring in 50,000 Afghan refugees in the next year, Bob Kitchen, vice president of emergencies and humanitarian action at International Rescue Committee (IRC) told Axios.
* That's more than the total, annual number of refugees the U.S. has resettled from all over the world over the past couple years.
* IRC is one of the largest resettlement agencies in the U.S., and typically handles 25% of refugee arrivals Kitchen said. "We're now currently staffing up and getting ready to handle the 25% of 50,000 new arrivals."

WNU Editor: Five to six million Afghans fled Afghanistan the last time the Taliban were in control of the country. I see the same happening with the Taliban back in power. But unlike the last time when many Afghan refugees stayed in Pakistan, this generation will flee to Europe.

Thanks Biden.
Perhaps Europe should send them back. If I could, I most certainly would.
The government they are "fleeing" from is as bad and worse than the Taliban or their backers.
We can't take care of the simple stuff in this country anymore (you know, like the infrastructure and the fuking BORDER), yet we're going to add 50k immigrants from a shithole country that after 20 years and billions of dollars spent on improving its military and infrastucture couldn't defeat a couple thousand Taliban neanderthals. Thanks to all the internationalists in our government, m'fkn assholes. Be sure to give them all kinds of freebies that we the taxpayers don't get, and don't forget to remind them that the freebies are courtesy of the Demofuks so that they'll know who to vote for.
Strange that they flee. Those are all muslims and Taliban will impose sharia law. Why flee then? Sharia is part of Islam so if they don't want to live under sharia law, how can they be muslims?
What an disease ridden asshole 8:19 is.
Afghanistan grows from 20 million people to 40 million people in 20 years and somehow things were so bad that the population doubled under a non-Taliban government.
Thanks trump
Obama
Bush
There are political refugees and soon massive numbers of climate change and they will all live in posters yard
Guess where that is
I like Fred. He is unique. People have heard of the chicken that lived without a head. Fred lives without a functioning mind.
Climate Change: Greenland is colder that it was 600 years ago.
You cannot prove it to Fred, because he has that little problem.
He has no mind.
Viking used to raise goats, sheep and cattle in Greenland. Thousands f them. Then the cooling began. It is still not as warm now as it was back then.
Cumt
Yet under Biden, and according to CNN and the Washington Examiner respectively, between 180,000 and 213,000 illegal aliens—people unchecked and unscreened for health conditions or criminal backgrounds—are crossing into our country every month that we know about.
It’s not just COVID-19 and its variants through these means that should concern us. The following diseases, to name a few, were unthinkable in the U.S. a year ago:
1) drug-resistant tuberculosis;
2) malaria;
3) lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis);
4) mumps; and
5) rubella.
I hope Biden voters die of tropical diseases brought in by illegals. I hope it is long and painful.

Almost a year after the L and you are still mad? Gotta move on dude.
Mad at the L or not mad at the L is beside the point although, since it was thru fraud, it is justification.
The point is the ruinous polices of the dull plagiarist.
Form the southern border to this
The curious U.S. military alliance with the Taliban
There is so much to dislike.
If the US was trending to being a Banana Republic, it would be better than it is now. IT would be a step up.
"Lack of US consultation with NATO on its Afghanistan withdrawal plans left its allies in the dark and highly vulnerable."
"U.K. officials told The Guardian that the worry is U.S. forces could leave and the British Army contingent is unable to secure the airport."
Yup, Joe is fucking our allies in the ass.
Germany under Merkel deserves it. Britain does not.
Lol. You are still mad.
Oh, and Britain deserves every last awful thing that happens to it. Maybe they can beg the EU to return since their economy is set up for a decade of stagnation.
Brits just can't seem to get over the fact that Empire imploded after WW2 and they don't rate anymore. They have become a punchline, weak and contemptible.
-You do not abandon faithful allies.
Weak or not, they provide more combat fire power, more consistently than Germany or France.
The GDP data does not back you up.
Bush entered Afghanistan and began war
He is trump party gop
That then would kill more than half of voters in our nation
Why would we
Then be
Now what to jerkoff about since america tossed trump out?
Quack quack
"That then would kill more than half of voters in our nation
Why would we
Then be"
The Jerk Off was vainly trying to come up with the word "what".
"What would we Then be?
People who vote for having an unlimited number of people invading their land many of whom carry diseases are not that bright. So we would be better off without those voters.
Service record Freddie!
Service record liar!
You don't need to "guess" where my yard is. I've already provided information on my name and the community I live in.
All you would need to do is do an internet search and you can easily locate my yard. Guessing is completely unnecessary
No, they will not be staying in my yard or house. We are remodeling right now so there isn't room. Even if there was the only people who stay in my house or yard are people I know or someone I know and trust knows them and couches for them
In my neighborhood we look out for each other. Trespassers are likely to be shot on sight. Frankly our government has done a breathtakingly poor job at redeployment. Many of these "political refugees" are terrorists who never should've been allowed here in the first place.
There are 2 Afghan "political refugees" that I know of who I will allow anywhere near my property. These are the two men and their families that I know served as interpreters for a dear friend of mine while he worked in Afghanistan. All others unless properly vetted will be assumed to be Trespassers and dealt with accordingly. They will not be living in my yard.
Fred's writing matches Biden's speaking, neither seem to have aged well.
It seems some commenters on this site are having trouble changing from RTL to LTR.
couches for them
Something the vice squad would be interested in?
