Report: 20K More Afghans Seeking Resettlement Across U.S.

The number of Afghans requesting to be resettled in the United States stands at about 20,000 as President Joe Biden’s administration continues flying in thousands each week.

Biden’s massive Afghan resettlement operation plans to bring at least 95,000 Afghans to the U.S. for resettlement across 46 states. The Afghans are initially flown into Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania or Dulles International Airport in Virginia before temporarily living on various U.S. military bases while awaiting resettlement.

More than 55,000 Afghans remain temporarily living at U.S. bases in Wisconsin, Texas, New Mexico, Indiana, New Jersey, and Virginia. Some have already been accused of crimes, such as rape, child molestation, assault, and domestic abuse.

The number of Afghans requesting U.S. resettlement, though, may balloon to 150,000 by the end of 2022 as about 20,000 Afghans are currently seeking to enter the country through the little-known “humanitarian parole” system.- READ MORE
