‘They’re here with their families and their children to build a new life,’ Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said.
Shirzad is one of the 60,000 Afghan immigrants who have resettled in the U.S. to seek refuge while a humanitarian crisis unfolds in Afghanistan. Of those, just over 900 Afghan refugees have moved to Utah – the largest refugee resettlement in state history. “This group includes individuals who worked closely with and were critical allies to the U.S. government in Afghanistan” he said. “They’re here with their families and their children to build a new life.”
“They arrived in Utah with permission to work and we’re helping them find good jobs,” Cox said. “We recognize the incredible talents, abilities and life experiences that these Afghans bring to our labor force. They will be wonderful additions in filling much-needed job vacancies in the state.”
What if we assimilated them somewhere else? Instead of in a city, with its expensive services, we could help them set up a colony of their own in the countryside, which would be better for them in the long run.
Good thing we don't have any native Utahns that need housing or jobs!
These aren’t necessarily the ones who helped the USA in anyway the last 20 years. Many that did help got left behind by Biden to be murdered by the Taliban. We may never know how many of these refugees simply pushed their way to the front of the line and jumped on a plane.
