The Biden administration will continue settling Afghan refugees in American communities, including Northern Virginia, through August. The news comes recently after the federal government admitted that they failed miserably in vetting the tens of thousands already resettled in America.
A number of the refugees settled were later exposed as massive terrorist threats to the United States.
Breitbart reports:
A State Department official told Bloomberg News that Biden is looking to bring thousands more Afghans to the U.S. for resettlement over the next six months. Currently, there are some 100,000 Afghans who have sought entry to the U.S. but who remain in Afghanistan.
The administration is setting up a new resettlement site in northern Virginia where about 2,000 Afghans a month will be bused from Dulles International Airport after arriving primarily from bases in Qatar.
To date, Biden has resettled 85,000 Afghans in American communities across 46 states since mid-August 2021. That resettlement failed to properly vet Afghans against counter-terrorism databases, the Department of Defense’s Inspector General revealed last month.
As of November 2021, the report states 50 Afghans already in the U.S. have been flagged for “significant security concerns.” Most of the unvetted Afghans flagged for possible terrorism ties have since disappeared in the U.S. In one instance, only three of 31 Afghans flagged months ago for security concerns could be located.
Every five years, refugee resettlement costs taxpayers nearly $9 billion. Over the course of a lifetime, taxpayers pay about $133,000 per refugee, and within five years of resettlement, roughly 16 percent will need taxpayer-funded housing assistance

I agree with you Everitt. He is the worst President in our short history. We need to impeach him immediately.
To whom it may concern,
President Biden is out of his mind. He needs to be removed from being President of the USA ASAP. I don’t have a problem with legal refugees coming into our country but to bring refugees here without being investigated is crazy. What is he trying to do to us. Also just look at our Southern boarder. Our representatives need to do something about this act NOW.
Our senior citizens need help badly. Social Security needs to be increased to help us out. I am 86 years old & still have to work to make ends meet. I have worked all my life & payed into Social Security. Now I want it back. It is great to help other people in need but we also have to take care of our own. I live in a senior apartment building & see residents that can’t pay for prescriptions, or buy groceries or pay all of there rent. It is disgraceful with what is going on in our country with this administration. It has to end very very soon. Thank You.
