First batch of Afghan interpreters, translators arrives in US
[KhaamaPress] US president Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
welcomed the first flight from Afghanistan evacuating more than 200 people including interpreters, translators, and other workers along with their families on Friday.

News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported that a commercial plane of 221 Afghans-applicants of Special Immigration Visa- arrived in Dulles, Virginia just outside Washington D.C.

The people were screened for coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
and are tended to stay in Fort Lee, Virginia for seven days.

Joe Biden in a statement said that he is fulfilling his promise of bringing thousands of Afghans who have worked shoulder-to-shoulder with American troops during the past twenty years in Afghanistan.

The batch is first of the over seven hundred families that Joe Biden had pledged to be flown out directly to the United States. As per the plan, thousands of other applicants of SIV will be taken to a third country of US military base in a third country until their paper works get completed.

The White House statement further reads that Joe Biden thanked all the Afghans who have contributed to their mission in Afghanistan and said to be proud of them all.

On Thursday, Congress overwhelmingly passed the bill based on which 8 thousand additional visas were to be granted for Afghans who have worked alongside Americans in Afghanistan.
Biden said that these first Afghans are able to come directly to the United States because they have already completed extensive background checks and security screening by the Intelligence Community and the Departments of State and Homeland Security.

They will complete the final steps of their visa applications and required medical checks at Fort Lee, in Virginia, before traveling onward to begin their new lives in the United States, the statement said.

#2 There are more than 30,000 Afghan refugees located in northern California, with most settled around Milpitas. Thus, those arriving would probably be welcome there, but who would wish the California Bay Area on anyone?
