What happens when an Afghan refugee arrives in America for “processing” and it’s discovered that, uh-oh, this one is a notorious pederast war criminal who skimmed $7 million off the USAID budget and committed an honor killing of his sister?

Are they going to send him back?

    OK, Sailer, you owe me a new phone ’cause you just made me spit coffee all over mine.

  3. As if the vetting process is going to be that thorough: “we asked him whether he was a bad guy, and he pinky-swore that he wasn’t!”

  4. You’re a little out of sync Steve ; pederasty is fashionable in the ruling classes , who in the halls of power hasn’t committed the occasional war crime ?

    Yeah, my first reaction to

    was, "Wait, those are supposed to be bad things now? That's pretty much our whole ruling class!"

    OTOH, there was,

    and committed an honor killing of his sister
     
    but maybe she was a Trump supporter or something. That's justifiable homicide in most blue jurisdictions now.
  5. Are they going to send him back?

    No, probably kicked upstairs as DIE professional/director in your urban community (with 6 figure salary, benefits and multiple wives/families, welfare, foodstamps, medicaid, etc.).

  7. Of course they send him back. Suitably processed through a decontamination system which puts to shame “The Andromeda Strain”. Heroic son of X and great grandson of Y, flower of Afghan chivalry, Pashtun knight, Defender of the Faith, Protector of Widows, Benefactor of Orphanages &c.

    Ummm... the whole point of the resume was that we shouldn't care about his life.

    I'll pass over the (intentional?) confusion of "precedence" with "precedent" and the apparent possibility that "smart like Fredo" was a try at irony. If humor was being attempted I can't really tell why it was supposed to be funny. Maybe you should eschew such attempts.

  13. No, but he has to promise to try not to do it again.

  14. He will be given counseling and training.

    Then released into the general population with a lifetime stipend that allows him to live in a manner to which ‘merica has trained him to expect.

    And we are all better off for the diversity and GDP growth.

    If it doesn’t work out, it is because we didn’t do his rehab correctly, and we need to be punished some more.

  15. Are you thinking of anyone in particular (I admit I haven’t been following the news very closely)?

    On a related note, who are these alleged thousands of Americans still stranded in Afghanistan? I’m looking at this article
    https://nypost.com/2021/08/19/some-of-the-americans-allies-trapped-in-afghanistan/
    and it mentions people with names like Faziya Nematy, Haroon Zarify and Salma Kazemi. I’m wondering, are any of these stranded people, you know, American-Americans?

    Students with disabilities are effectively being excluded from public schools because of this ban.

    Courts must intervene.
     
    Little to do with "civil liberties", but pretty classic ACLU minoritarianism: Minority dictating that the majority must do X,Y,Z to accommodate it.

    And "Courts must intervene". Pretty much the minoritarian battle cry and the death of civilized society.

    ~~

    To me, the whole masks in schools thing--a classic binary, as the mask folks really want everyone masked--is yet another indicator, that with our "diversity" now the only sane way to do primary and secondary education with vouchers. Privatize and parents can figure out what's important to them.

    The only way to live--remotely pleasantly--with "diversity" is separation. Different people go there own ways and don't get in each other's faces. This is so obvious. So the fact that our minoritarian elites approach is the exact reverse tells you all you need to know.

  19. ‘Not enough time to fly everyone out’ of Kabul by August 31, Maas says as 100 Germans & their families remain in Afghanistan

    “We will not be able to get everyone out of Afghanistan in the remaining days of this military evacuation operation,” Maas told Germany’s Bild TV broadcaster, adding that “honesty” demands he admit this fact.

    The foreign minister said that German officials are “in contact” with 100 “citizens and their families” on the ground and are aware of their location. The officials were still trying to bring them to the Kabul airport in a “reasonably safe” manner and get them onboard one of the Bundeswehr flights, he said.

    He also admitted that Berlin had to negotiate with the Taliban to evacuate some people while describing it as “worse than just an abnormal state of affairs.” “To do this, one has to go ways one does not want to go,” Maas said, arguing that Germany had no other choice.

    None of this makes any sense. Or as much sense as the two people who are masked in the throng of people in the cargo hold. Maybe Health & Safety is interfering with ops?

  20. This has already been an issue in Denmark. A 23-year old Danish-speaking Afghan flown in a few days ago was screened in the Copenhagen airport, and identified as a criminal who had been expelled for violent crimes, without the right to return. He had tried to enter using his brother’s identity (the biometrics nailed him). At his hearing, he whined about how he would not be secure in Afghanistan. Sounds like just the place for him.

    I already referred above to that evidence for what would happen. From the Guardian article linked to in the tweet you supplied:


    On Monday night, however, the Home Office said that the person who had reached the UK [despite being on the deny-entry list] was “not a person of interest” to the security services or police upon “further investigation”. The individual, who had not been identified, had been allowed to enter the UK.
     
  26. Are they going to send him back?

    This is the crux of a lot of things. Immigration policy isn’t written by the natives it’s written by the immigrants. They can come and go if they want to but it’s not really up to the natives. Endless amnesties.

    Similarly with terms like ‘integration’, there is never a failure state. Nobody is ever found wanting for ‘integration’ and sent away.

    • Agree: Old Prude
  27. Of course not. He’s “connected” with a resume like that. He’ll get a nice pension with a nice house in a nice neighborhood that’s hopefully not too close to an elementary school. He might even get a glowing profile in the local news, with some unpleasant details omitted naturally.

They even got the webcam at the Chicago Planetarium that looked over Meigs Field turned off in the middle of the night so that the Chicago residents would not be aware "The People's Airport" was being destroyed by "Da Mayor."

    And yes, Chicago Mayor Daley WAS reelected for another term, such is the IQ of Chicagoans,

    https://alchetron.com/cdn/meigs-field-8a1d285c-bffd-448f-ab35-beabaec3238-resize-750.jpeg

    On March 31, 2003, one of the best known general aviation airports in the world suddenly closed. Meigs Field, the downtown Chicago landmark and default airport of Microsoft’s Flight Simulator video game series, shut down without warning and, according to airport supporters, illegally. Pilots of aircraft there awoke that Monday morning to find large Xs gouged into the runway, with heavy construction equipment placed atop for good measure. After several days’ negotiations, aircraft were allowed to depart from the parallel taxiway one by one, never to return.

    The decision to shut down Meigs Field was made by Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, ostensibly to prevent terrorists from using the field as cover to mount an attack. While that was a legitimate concern, many contend the true motive was Daley’s long-held wish to turn Meigs into a large park.

    The airport was built in 1948, during general aviation’s post-World War II glory days, and provided convenient access to Chicago for businesspeople and casual aviators alike. Named for Merrill Meigs, publisher of the Chicago Herald and Examiner and an aviation fan, Meigs Field was immensely popular; several runway extensions and facilities were later added.

    Daley first shut the field down in 1996 with the intention of turning the airport into parkland, in order to boost slumping Chicago real estate values and shore up political support by closing a symbol of elite privilege. Though that move was sudden, Xs marking the runway as off-limits were only painted on, and soon after, the state of Illinois legislated the airport back into operation. Meig’s future seemed assured by late 2001 when, to close a deal to expand nearby O’Hare International, Chicago’s primary international airport and one of the busiest in the world, Daley was forced to agree to operate Meigs until 2026. When the O’Hare deal stalled, Daley closed Meigs once and for all, incurring a $33,000 fine for ignoring the 30-day advance warning required by the Federal Aviation Administration. (The O’Hare expansion was eventually approved separately.)

  47. This is a complex issue that will stretch out for years.

    I think the big fuss being made now about vetting translators is putting on a show and actually deceptive.

    As for the Afghans who helped us and their wives and kids: I do not think they are going to be much of a problem. My question is, who else managed to bribe their way on to those planes and will disappear in Doha? Who did the Taliban sneak in using counterfeit paperwork? Now that I cannot tell you.

    As for refugees — real and otherwise — we do not know now how many will manage to make their way here to the Southern border or to Europe. Or how long they will keep coming. Biden will not vet them any more than he is vetting the ones already coming up from Mexico now. The visa overstayers who fly in won’t be identified and deported either.

    I am figuring the rich crook sex offender Afghan Steve describes will not be vetted either. He would not come in here or anywhere else as a refugee. I think his name would be known to our State and Defense Departments and to our European allies’ equivalent ministries but that information will not be released to any immigration databases. This guy gets in by buying property or making investments in some First World country or by getting citizenship in one of the EU’s tiny countries that allows him to live in any EU country. He will be able to come here without a visa.

    I started complaining about rich Afghan crooks living off Coalition money in the West starting a few months ago when things were going south. Now that everything fell like a house of cards I suppose these guys will start relocating soon if they haven’t already. The idea of them living in comfort and making more dirty money that we will protect galls me to no end but who ever does anything about the foreign crooks living in plain sight (to those who know) in the West?

    Here’s an old standby solution, the JP233 Runway Buster.
     
    Bah. Just do what Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley did: Send out loyalist Chicago Democrats with construction equipment to "X" out the runways in the middle of the night. They even got the webcam at the Chicago Planetarium that looked over Meigs Field turned off in the middle of the night so that the Chicago residents would not be aware "The People's Airport" was being destroyed by "Da Mayor."

    And yes, Chicago Mayor Daley WAS reelected for another term, such is the IQ of Chicagoans,

    https://alchetron.com/cdn/meigs-field-8a1d285c-bffd-448f-ab35-beabaec3238-resize-750.jpeg

    On March 31, 2003, one of the best known general aviation airports in the world suddenly closed. Meigs Field, the downtown Chicago landmark and default airport of Microsoft’s Flight Simulator video game series, shut down without warning and, according to airport supporters, illegally. Pilots of aircraft there awoke that Monday morning to find large Xs gouged into the runway, with heavy construction equipment placed atop for good measure. After several days’ negotiations, aircraft were allowed to depart from the parallel taxiway one by one, never to return.

    The decision to shut down Meigs Field was made by Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, ostensibly to prevent terrorists from using the field as cover to mount an attack. While that was a legitimate concern, many contend the true motive was Daley’s long-held wish to turn Meigs into a large park.

    The airport was built in 1948, during general aviation’s post-World War II glory days, and provided convenient access to Chicago for businesspeople and casual aviators alike. Named for Merrill Meigs, publisher of the Chicago Herald and Examiner and an aviation fan, Meigs Field was immensely popular; several runway extensions and facilities were later added.

    Daley first shut the field down in 1996 with the intention of turning the airport into parkland, in order to boost slumping Chicago real estate values and shore up political support by closing a symbol of elite privilege. Though that move was sudden, Xs marking the runway as off-limits were only painted on, and soon after, the state of Illinois legislated the airport back into operation. Meig’s future seemed assured by late 2001 when, to close a deal to expand nearby O’Hare International, Chicago’s primary international airport and one of the busiest in the world, Daley was forced to agree to operate Meigs until 2026. When the O’Hare deal stalled, Daley closed Meigs once and for all, incurring a $33,000 fine for ignoring the 30-day advance warning required by the Federal Aviation Administration. (The O’Hare expansion was eventually approved separately.)

    David Orr, who did no damage in his week of office!

    Acting Mayor of Chicago (1987)

    When Mayor Washington died of a heart attack on November 25, 1987, Orr, as Vice Mayor, became acting mayor.[10][11] He took office on November 25 and served for a week until the Council elected a permanent replacement mayor. Orr was suggested as the obvious choice, but as a reformer, he was vehemently opposed by the remaining Machine aldermen, and many black Chicagoans wanted a black replacement for Washington. Alderman Eugene Sawyer, who was black, and before 1983 had been a Machine loyalist, was chosen instead on December 2, 1987. Orr chaired Council meetings as mayor on December 1, a memorial meeting for Washington, and on December 2, when Sawyer was selected as his replacement.

    Orr considered running for mayor of Chicago in the 2019 Chicago mayoral election after incumbent mayor Rahm Emanuel declared in early September 2018 that he would no longer be seeking a third term.[23][24] However, he ultimately did not run. In the week prior to the first round of the election, Orr publicly endorsed the candidacy of Lori Lightfoot.
