Even as empty space it'll still be safer than Afghanistan under the Taliban. Think this through. Wyoming, the most right-wing state in the union is going to quietly accept thousands of refugees and that's going to end well? Certainly not on a local level and probably without any politicians helping. Not to mention the terrain and climate shock and lack of infrastructure. We've already accepted thousands of refugees. Granted, the shit-tier beaurocracy for getting people who helped the US confirmed and with approved visas in time did not help matters for getting the stragglers. It was a hampered effort, though ; many of the interpreters/assistants worked with the US military in irregular bursts on a less than formal basis. You think four administrations and 20 years of military kept track of this in a clean way? Yes, if the Afghan army holds up their end of it, this doesn't go as horribly. But then there would be a lot more bloodshed if they fought.
