    see PFIRDC.ORG's Joe Guzzardi on how many Afghans Donald Trump will
    invite to Mar-a-Lago: <URL:https://trib.com/opinion/columns/guzzardi-the-mounting-cost-of-afghan-resettlement/article_cb9ad21b-9705-5b4f-889c-fbc51e713d9a.html>
    | We just witnessed an excellent example of the Biden administration's
    | immigration subterfuge. The must-pass continuing resolution bill to
    | fund the federal government at its current level, and therefore
    | avoid a government shutdown, included a completely unrelated $7
    | billion to help resettle evacuated Afghan nationals, mostly unvetted
    | or, at best, superficially screened.
    |
    | The breakout of how the $7 billion will be spent was kept secret
    | from the public. As former Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen said,
    | perhaps apocryphally, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty
    | soon, you're talking real money."

    How many future Omar Mateens are among Mitch McConnell and Kevin
    McCarthy's scab workers?
