49 Republicans Help Democrats Pass Billions in Aid for Afghan Refugees Brought to US
The open-borders crowd has teamed up with Big Business Republicans to give welfare to Afghan refugees.
Nearly 100,000 Afghan refugees, many who fled their country rather than fight to protect their homeland, were welcomed today with billions of dollar in welfare spending.
On Thursday, 34 House Republicans and 15 Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to approve $6.4 billion in taxpayer money for the roughly 95,000 Afghans that Biden hopes to bring to the U.S. over the next 12 months — a population nine times larger than Jackson, Wyoming’s resident population.

“Already, as Breitbart News reported, 40,800 Afghans are temporarily living at eight U.S. military bases in Texas, Virginia, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Indiana, and New Jersey,” Breitbart said. “The funding for Biden’s resettlement operation was slipped into a government funding bill and will give public benefits like welfare, housing assistance, medical coverage, and state-issued driver’s licenses to tens of thousands of newly-arrived Afghans.”
Do you think these refugees need to go back home unless they can prove they actually helped the U.S. military? Do you think we should put veterans before refugees who fled their country because they wouldn’t fight? Let us know below!
