In the wake of Biden's epically disastrous Afghanistan retreat - you remember. That's the one where desperate Afghans fell to the tarmac after clinging to airplanes in bids to escape, and 13 precious American service members perished in a suicide bombing at the gates of the Kabul Airport.

Biden couldn't wait to forget about it.

Remember how the U.S. State Department couldn't get Americans out of Afghanistan, basically giving our citizens an official version straight out of Blazing Saddles?

But somehow they did have the wherewithal and room to pack something like 97,000 basically random Afghan refugees onto plane after plane and dump a good number of them here in the States.

It all started in early August of 2021, as the Schlitz started to hit the fan for reals.

US President Joe Biden’s administration will launch a new program to resettle certain Afghans as refugees in the United States, an administration official and two knowledgeable sources said on Sunday (1 August).

The US State Department was expected to announce the setting-up of the so-called Priority Two refugee program on Monday, the three sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

...The program comes as fighting surges in Afghanistan ahead of the formal completion of the US troop withdrawal at the end of this month, with the Taliban pushing to capture key provincial capitals.

...Those Afghans do not qualify for the Special Immigration Visa (SIV) program that covers interpreters and others who worked for the US government, and their families.

About 200 SIV applicants whose visas are in the final stages of processing and family members flew into the United States last week at the start of an evacuation effort dubbed “Operation Allies Refuge” that could include as many as 50,000 people or more.

Little towns in Wisconsin were girding their loins, waiting for Afghan refugees to begin arriving.

Wisconsin towns await influx of Afghans — and wonder what it will mean

Fort McCoy's Facebook page lit up in the hours after officials there announced that thousands of Afghan refugees would be coming to the Army base. In an instant, the website turned into an impromptu public forum as news spread that the largest airlift in U.S. history would affect a pair of blue-collar communities in western Wisconsin.

Some people wanted to know how they could donate blankets, warm clothes or canned goods to desperate strangers. Others worried that their community would face problems rooted in a chaotic withdrawal that, until a few days ago, was 7,000 miles away.

“The scenes — you know, the videos and stuff — that’s just not stuff that we see here,” said a man from nearby Sparta who did not want his name used for fear of being ostracized by his neighbors. “It’s sad to see, you know, the people so desperately trying to get out of there. I mean, it’s, you relate to that. But we absolutely have to consider our own safety. I just want to know what the plan is.”

"So, what's the plan?" is not an unreasonable question.

Yeah. 

Well, POTATUS had big plans, Jack. Had it all handled. See all those acronyms with Mayorkas' ugly mug right up front there? We've got our best - our BEST - people on it.

Processing, screening, more screening, resettlement, co-ordination, ad nauseum. It's all covered.

Quit yer squawking.

...To lead the effort in support of Operation Allies Welcome, DHS established a Unified Coordination Group (UCG). The UCG reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security and coordinates the implementation of a broad range of services, including initial processing, COVID-19 testing, isolation of COVID-positive individuals, vaccinations, additional medical services, and screening and support for individuals who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents. This support includes initial processing at pre-designated U.S. military bases prior to being connected with non-governmental organizations for resettlement into communities. The work of the UCG is undertaken in close collaboration with partners in state and local government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.

Welp. 

Fast forward two years and, as POTATUS would say, "Fooled YOU, Jack."

Turns out, nobody's been watching.

...Additionally, the IG found only 3 Afghan parolees were deported from the US between July 2021 and December 2022. One for "terrorism related activity", one for murder, and one for abusive sexual contact. The IG found that DHS has a fragmented process for identifying derogatory information on the Afghan parolees as well. 

The report finds that DHS has no process or component whatsoever for monitoring parole expiration for the Afghan parolees, or any humanitarian parole recipients in general. CBP thought ICE and USCIS would handle it, USCIS says they haven't been because they aren't a law enforcement component, and ICE says they can't because they don't have the staffing to do so, with only 6,000 removal officers who already have to monitor millions of migrants already in removal proceedings... 

Surprised much?

Golly Nell. We really shouldn't be, but it still blows me away: the breathtaking, utter disregard for American security and stupefying, never-ending incompetence.

And the inexcusable "But we saved lives!" excuse.

...In a response to the report, DHS concurred with the recommendations but defended its approach to resettling Afghans.

"During this unprecedented whole-of-government effort, the United States government facilitated the relocation of Afghans whose lives were at risk, while prioritizing the maintenance of the national security and public safety of the United States," it said.

Instapundit would say, "Heh" right about now.

Fort McCoy, WI, which held almost thirteen thousand Afghan refugees at one point, saw the last of their refugees leave by December of 2022. About 850 Afghans were resettled in the state of WI and the rest of McCoy's one-time guests were farmed out across the country by "resettlement agencies." I'm assuming these are arms of the very NGOs causing such heartburn at the border right now, so we already know whose side they're on. 

...The vast majority of Afghans who stayed at Fort McCoy were not resettled in Wisconsin. In general, the location of an evacuee's military base had little bearing on their final destination.

Of the roughly 820 Afghans who have resettled in Wisconsin, about 180 came from Fort McCoy, according to the state Department of Children and Families, which oversees the state refugee program.

According to federal data first obtained by CBS News, more than a third of Afghan evacuees were resettled in Texas, California and Virginia. The three states are home to established Afghan immigrant communities.

The states bordering Wisconsin — Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan — have all taken in more Afghans than Wisconsin.

Illinois has resettled the most of the Upper Midwest — about 1,900 people, according to the federal data, including more than 1,300 in the Chicago area.

These agencies would no more be heavily invested in keeping track of their human charges than DHS is. Works out beautifully for all concerned, doesn't it?

There was also a pretty dang substantial government housekeeping charge to go along with housing and feeding these mostly unvetted Afghans, but it almost seems like a drop in the bucket now compared to what's going on.

Military bases that housed tens of thousands of Afghan refugees in the U.S. incurred almost $260 million in damages that in some cases rendered buildings unusable for troops until significant repairs to walls and plumbing are made, the Pentagon’s inspector general found.

Over the last two weeks of August 2021, the U.S. Air Force managed the largest humanitarian evacuation in its history, airlifting 120,000 people from Afghanistan in just 17 days. The bulk of those passengers were Afghans fleeing Taliban rule, and U.S. aircraft delivered tens of thousands of those Afghans initially to bases in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Italy, Bahrain and Germany.

After processing, many of the refugees were flown to eight military bases in the U.S., where many were housed for months as they awaited visa processing and resettlement; the last Afghan refugee left military housing in February.

But, no worries.

According to Melugin's report, most of these happy campers have been turned loose along with the rest of the hordes the Biden administration has allowed to pour over the border, to gambol across our fair countryside at will, seeking whatever succor and sustenance they can find or pillage.

Chinese nationals, for instance. I think I heard we're up to something like thirty thousand military age, single Chinese men have been identified coming into SoCal from last fall to now.

And, unlike other illegals looking for work, help, or shelter, they're doing interesting things when they get here.

There have been so many dangerous people flooding the country, and this administration is so purposefully and malevolently clueless that I am losing track of what group I should be watching first.

They all hate us, and Biden's let them ALL in the front door.
