Are there not bases on other soil where they can be housed?

The major cities of Texas are full with illegals in apartments, hotels, motels, and under bridges. So now we are bringing the Afghans into military bases. Soon Texas will have more illegals, Afghani's, Iraqi's, and Chinese than anyone else. The citizens built the schools, the roads, the hospitals, thinking the bonds they voted for, would build facilities for them. No. The citizens are being squeezed out, put in the back of the line, or out of the line.

I don't believe the DOD. The DOD will not be able to get them out. The DOD is merely covering for their incompetence with a lie.

Not more Muslims here. Look what happened when we let Somalians in. We got the Omar woman.

#2, these refugees represent another 30,000 dim voters. It's all about changing America's demographics. Whites are to become a minority.

I have seen numbers approaching 60,000 is what they want to evacuate. Stuffing C-17s like sardines will get you about 150 per flight. That's 400 round trips to get everyone out - more if the numbers are more than expect or you have injured on litters.
There's only about 180 C-17s in existence, and I doubt anywhere close to 1/2 are deployed here. It's going to take a long time to get that many people moved out. I don't think it's going to happen because I don't think the Taliban is going to let us hold the airfield for that long.

There's not going to be many interpreters left alive because this brain dead excuse for a president wasted weeks. I don' t mind them, but refugees in general are better off somewhere else.

IF they are actual refugees who assisted the US military (and earned the right to be here), come on over. Biden's foot dragging on their evacuation has put them and their families in danger. Return the Central American invaders home and let the Afghans stay in their place. Of course, if Biden fails to get them into the US, they can always fly to Mexico and just walk over the border where they will be welcomed with open arms and money / benefits.

Hey. why not house 30,000 afghans in military bases? These soldiers also will make great waiters. Can I have another Coke, please?

Sorry #10, I have to disagree. The last thing we need over here are thousands more 7th Century barbarians. They have had twenty years to figure out how to not drop their rifles at the first sign of the enemy. They failed. I don't want one more muslim let in this country regardless of the circumstances that led to their defeat.

As a Texan, I say we have taken more than our share of refugees from all over the world. How about housing them at Andrews AFB and Ft Belvoir, both inside the DC Beltway? Maybe a few thousand at Camp David?

Send them to Oregon. They don't have to read, write or do math there anyway.
Also, the buck stops with Biden?
Make that about $0.89 due to inflation under him.

I suppose that the Dems will expect them to vote Democrat.

The Taliban control the roads to the airport and can likely shot any plane out of the sky with the arms we left. They hold all the cards.
