The Defense Department has confirmed that Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan, and applying for visas to the United States, will be sent to U.S. military bases in Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia.
For days, reports had circulated that the roughly 22,000 Afghans that President Joe Biden’s administration plans to bring to the U.S. would first be sent to military bases in a number of states.
On Tuesday, Defense Department official Gary Reed confirmed to the Texas Tribune that the thousands of Afghans applying for visas will be sent to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, and Fort McCoy in Monroe County, Wisconsin, in addition to Fort Lee in Prince George County, Virginia. “There may be other sites identified if services are needed, additional capacity is needed,” Reed said and suggested the administration “can expand if we need to” the number of Afghans being resettled in the U.S. above the 22,000 estimate.
The Afghans will temporarily stay at the three military bases, as they apply for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), P-1 visas, and P-2 visas, before eventually being resettled in American communities. Nine refugee contractors — who have a vested interest in ensuring as many refugees are resettled across the U.S. as possible because their annual federally-funded budgets are contingent on the number of refugees they resettle — will help resettle Afghans.

This is a farce. Insiders have leaked to the press that as many as 40,000 US citizens + 80,000 Afghan contractors & immediate relatives are still in Afghanistan. Biden is of course greatly playing down the numbers.
Most of the Afghans getting on US & NATO Air Force planes are just random putzes with zero connection who after they managed to make it to the Kabul airport are simply begging to be resettled in America. Biden is following in my glorious footsteps to flood America with Arab infiltrators. We don't know how many terrorist moles are among them. No vetting is being done.
The initial "plan" was to send the Afghans to Dubai, Albania & Kosovo. But these countries told Biden to piss off because the special visa process (now nullified) would take up to 4 years. And who is going to pay to secure & feed these fressers in that time?
General Petraeus has nicknamed Biden: "Joe Dunkirk"
