CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 23, 2022
REMEMBER AFGHANISTAN? I KNOW, WE’D ALL LIKE TO FORGET THE DISASTEROUS WITHDRAWAL OF U.S. FORCES, BUT NOW WE’RE DEALING WITH REFUGEES FROM THAT COUNTRY.
HOMELAND SECURITY HAS ANNOUNCED THE DEPARTURE OF THE LAST EVACUEES FROM U.S. MILITARY BASES. IT SAYS 76,000 OF THEM HAVE BEEN PROCESSED AND RELEASED INTO AMERICAN COMMUNITIES.
DO YOU TRUST THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB VETTING THESE PEOPLE? I DON’T.
THE PENTAGON’S CHIEF WATCHDOG SAYS AT LEAST FIFTY OF THOSE RELEASED POSE “POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SECURITY CONCERNS.” TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORTED TO CONGRESS LAST WEEK THAT 28 OF 31 AFGHAN EVACUEES WITH KNOWN “DEROGATORY INFORMATION” CAN NO LONGER BE FOUND. WE PUT ANKLE BRACELETS ON SOME CRIMINALS TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM. WHY WOULDN’T THAT WORK ON THESE GUYS?
ADD THIS TO THE THOUSANDS POURING OVER OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, SOME OF WHOM ARE CONVICTED SEX PREDATORS AND GUILTY OF OTHER CRIMES, AND YOU HAVE THE CONTINUED DETERIORATION OF THIS ONCE GREAT COUNTRY. RUSSIA, CHINA AND IRAN MUST BE CELEBRATING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
