So I found out that my city is getting roughly 900 Afghan refugees in the coming weeks.

Is your hometown getting Afghan refugees?

Send them all to your city/town. J/k :P

USA is big. We can fit as many that need help. Islamophobia is a issue these refugees will face though unfortunately along with racism.

I don't know, actually, but I live in the middle of nowhere so if we do get some refugees, it probably won't be a whole lot if we get any? I think we have 1 mosque, which is definitely better than a lot of places, but there are different sects of Islam so that might suck for some folks.

The white supremacists in the area would freak, but other than that I don't see any issues... and there's nothing new about the white supremacists freaking out, lol.

Edit: was just doublechecking. The governor of my state has been supportive of refugees before, so hopefully that trend coninues here.

Minneapolis/St Paul will take them. In my life time we've taken in Somali and Hmong. Its always difficult when they come here. You'll have the first wave not really wanting to conform and face prejudice but then the next generation will grow up through the public school system (which at this time is horrible) and become more Americanized.

I think cos the twin cities are so diversed and have already gone through previous refugees coming here i think most people will be welcoming these refugees in with open arms. They understand what its like and arent ignorant. So yeah we should see a good chunk get relocated here

I don't think it is much of a conspiracy theory. Non whites overwhelming vote for democrat, so the more non white immigrants you import the greater democratic base.

It is incumbent upon a party to earn support. If they don't like that immigrants are so repulsed by the GOP, that is entirely the fault of the Republican party's rhetoric and policies. Earn their votes or shut the fuck up. It's obviously not hard to do considering what pittances the Dems present... stop being a bunch of scapegoating cowards and earn their support. Wah wah, why don't the POC immigrants vote for the anti POC immigrant party that blames them for everything that goes wrong in the world in order to justify not doing jack shit to improve anything?! Waaaaaah....

Btw, if someone's response to finding out the opposition is more palatable to certain groups is to try and block those groups from living and participating in society instead of, you know, making themselves more appealing? They instantly justify their reputation as being in direct opposition to the well-being of those people. Naturally the GOP would rather restrict people's freedoms in order to avoid giving up their scapegoats.

In other words, you've got it backwards. I know a not insignificant number of immigrants who would vote Republican if the party wasn't so unbelievably shitty to them specifically. This isn't a Democrat conspiracy; this is the consequence of GOP rhetoric and policy.

Why do you think the government has not implemented common sense, cost-saving policies to end homelessness?

Basically, yeah. Imagine being an Afghan refugee, coming to the USA, and then seeing Tucker fucking Carlson ranting about how the Afghan refugees are going to rape and murder everyone... you gonna vote for the GOP with that piece of shit as the poster child of GOP rhetoric?
GOP dug their grave with respect to immigrant support.

Theres always going to be some level of homelessness. Saying this constant problem needs to be solved entirely before we help others in need is just a lazy excuse. Developed countries can help refugees even if they arent a Utopia, because no nations are.

I'd actually think the babies are those who get hot and bothered over political beliefs and really get mad when someone has none as that takes away their favourite topic to get mad about. Just as you've proved.

I require a citation from you before I can post counterevidence. Either provide proof that accepting refugees causes homelessness in the native population or I will assume that you are making an argument from intuition- aka, you're full of shit.

Oh, you're an adolescent, not a toddler. You think pretending that being a manly man man means you don't give a shit about anything like your favorite anime anti-hero.
Affectations of apathy are not signs of maturity. Quite the opposite. Adults actually care about shit because they have to worry about the future.
And, like a typical child, you will in one breath make incendiary emotional political statements and then in the next be like "hurr durr that's just my feelings but I don't actually have feelings about things because I'm so cool hurr durr."

I mean, there doesn't need to be. But yes, pretending to care about the homeless so that refugees can also have worse standards of living is a gross stance.

I don't even know what the current settlement situations are but we're talking about people who have been in a new country for a matter of weeks at this point, at most. It's not like they'll never have to get jobs or face the same issues that homeless people face that cause them to be homeless

You dont need political beliefs to be an adult. Many people have beliefs without them being for political reasons. They may line up with certain political stances that people have, but I dont think that automatically makes them political beliefs Like I have my own beliefs, but I can give a rats ass about politics

If they're beliefs about how the world ought to operate, they are political beliefs. They don't have to align with an existing political party or figure, nor be inspired or influenced by them.

Sweden has continously been accepting refugees for many years(even during the pandemic).
Not everyone but many of them either don't want a job and just want free money from the state and goof off or are just incompetent.
Many of them won't even bother learning the language(even when the state literally gives them Swedish classes for free).

And I remember headlines from a few years ago when a bunch of them were sleeping on the job because they were too exhausted from fasting(during our summers, the sun is up literally 24/7 so it can be very hard for them to know when to eat).
And these people were in charge of taking care of elderly people who can't take care of themselves.

I respect people for having a religion and that's great but I also expect them to do their job.

There are exceptions of course.

I know at least five people/coworkers who are from other countries(two from Middle East, one from Asia, one from Africa and one from Poland).
They can all speak Swedish really well(except for the Polish guy who only speaks English) and they're literally one of the kindest people I've ever met in my life.

And when my sister was swapping apartments with this pregnant immigrant lady, her friends were so darn helpful our family barely got to help with the move.
They were like "No no we take this. You take something lighter."

I mean, their Swedish weren't the best but they sure had a good heart and I commend that.

Now that's how you integrate into a country.
