Ingraham claims Biden administration sees Afghan refugees as 'cheap labor and easy votes'

Laura Ingraham criticized the Biden administration Thursday on "The Ingraham Angle" for the number of Afghan refugees coming into the country in a process she said was not secure.

"According to Axios, the Biden administration yesterday informed governors and mayors in 46 states to get ready to welcome the first group of about 37,000 afghan refugees. Nearly 5,300 for California, 4,500 for Texas, nearly 2,000 for Washington, and so on. By the way, that number is just for starters. In a recent budget request, the Biden administration asked Congress for funds to resettle a total of – I hope you’re sitting – 160,000 refugees through September of 2022."

"We’ve kind of gone from we need to get the translators and interpreters out, to ‘we need to bring everyone who wants to come from Afghanistan here to the United States’, stat," she said.

Ingraham noted that Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, whom she described as untrustworthy given his "backchannel" with China and assurances Afghanistan wouldn't totally collapse, has assured Americans the feds' vetting process is sound.
