In support of these Afghan evacuees, the Department of Defense is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening and logistics support for the Afghans’ safe relocation to the United States.

Approximately 2,500 Afghans can currently be temporarily housed at Camp Atterbury in Indiana, one of eight sites across the United States to host the Afghan evacuees.

The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State, has plans to support at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures.

And they all get $1250 of tax money.

And resettled for free into swing states, so they can pull the D lever every couple years.

United States taxpayers are funding our own demise so the D Party can have perpetual power.
