AOC demands Biden resettle a minimum of 200,000 Afghanis in U.S. as quickly as possible
[BIZPACREVIEW] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
is demanding that the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us...
take in hundreds of thousands of Aghan refugees even as the U.S. military struggling to get all Americans out of the war-torn country ahead of an Aug. 31 deadline.

The New York leftist told The Independent that Biden should set, as a minimum, the acceptance of 200,000 Afghans into the U.S. as the country exits its longest war. She added those refugees should be permanently resettled and eventually granted naturalized American citizenship.

"I believe we need to move and the administration needs to move as quickly as possible and as expansively as possible ensuring that we are raising the amount of refugee visas to whatever amount is necessary," she told the outlet.

"I would say the rock bottom is 200,000, but I think it should be whatever is necessary," she added. "And that needs to be expedited as soon as possible."

Ocasio-Cortez’s demand comes as the Biden administration is coming under increasing fire for extricating more Afghani citizens than Americans, by percentages, according to a leaked State Department cable on Tuesday.

During his nightly "Chalk Talk," Newsmax TV’s Steve Cortes, citing figures from the cable, noted that official numbers from the State Department showed a massively disproportionate number of Afghans being evacuated compared to Americans.

"It has never been more important to prioritize American citizens than right now, particularly as it is related to Afghanistan," the "Cortes & Pellegrino" co-host and former Trump adviser said. "But so far, the massive airlift from Afghanistan has been Americans last."

According to State Department figures, on Monday the U.S. evacuated a total of 6,916 people from Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai

To the land of the free...
And repeating the twentieth century.

#12 200,000 Afhans would be an exciting and vibrant addition to Minneapolis. And would probably give the resident Somali population a run for their money. Vibrant excitement for everyone!
