Senator Cotton: Who Are They, and Where Did They Go?

~ Ann Corcoran

That is what Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas has asked the Department of Homeland Security reports John Binder at Breitbart.

You have probably seen the news, but just in case you didn’t know that some of Biden’s Afghans are not waiting for the nine resettlement contractors to pick their new homes in America choosing instead to walk away from military bases where they have been housed.   So much for robust vetting!

Editor:  Binder is keeping up with the latest Afghan evacuee news, so if you don’t read his reports you should.

From Breitbart:

Tom Cotton Sounds Alarm on ‘Unknown Afghans’ Fleeing U.S. Military Bases

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) says it is “alarming” that hundreds of seemingly “unknown Afghans” brought to the United States by President Joe Biden’s administration are prematurely fleeing U.S. military bases.

Did you know that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is a former board member of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, one of nine federal resettlement contractors you pay to place Afghans in towns near you. https://www.hias.org/news/press-releases/hias-congratulates-board-member-alejandro-mayorkas-dhs-nomination

Last week, Reuters reported that at least 700 Afghans had fled U.S. bases in Wisconsin, Virginia, Texas, Indiana, New Mexico, and New Jersey for American communities before having been resettled by refugee contractors.

At Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, alone, the report stated that more than 300 Afghans had left since they started arriving weeks ago as part of Biden’s massive operation that plans to bring at least 95,000 Afghans to the U.S. for resettlement in 46 states.

In a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Cotton asked for information on the Afghans leaving U.S. bases. — including their immigration statuses and if they received approval from DHS to leave.
