This article explains that hundred of Afghans have walked away from the U.S. bases where they are being processed, thus forfeiting any financial and other assistance that they would have received. The issue is very worrisome because the unvetted Afghans for some reason felt it was important to leave and disappear into the country as quickly as possible, despite the fact that they would have received substantial financial support if they would have stayed.

Following is a summary of this Jihad Watch article by Daniel Greenfield:
— Many hundreds of Afghan evacuees have been reported to be “walking away” from the military bases where they are currently being housed before receiving their U.S. resettlement services, according to Reuters, being referred to as “independent departures.”
— Such people could have a variety of reasons to do so, such as:
(1) They’re not who they say they are and they are worried that the authorities will find out.
(2) They’re committing crimes such as trafficking young girls, as had already been reported at Fort McCoy.
(3) They’re terrorists here to infiltrate America.
— It is reported that the Afghans walking away in such a manner is “raising alarms” among immigration advocates who think the migrants are “at risk” due to giving up their assistance. However they aren’t saying that they are alarmed about a terrorist treat, but rather they seem to mostly be worried about the money that they will lose since they are reimbursed for each refugee that they resettle.
[Note: I wonder if the “independent departures” have at least been fingerprinted and photographed, ect..]
— The news report quotes the head of Northern Command General Glen VanHerck who claimed that the number of incidents of robbery and theft among the migrants on the base were “substantially lower than the U.S. population,” saying that there were only eight cases in six weeks.
— The news report also claims: “However, U.S. officials stress that all of the Afghans leaving U.S. bases had already undergone security screening before arriving in the United States.” But in reality security screening is impossible because Afghanistan didn’t even have a single system of paperwork. [Also this Tucker Carlson video explains how it is impossible to “vet” the Afghans that are being brought.]
— The news report states, “Reuters viewed a document, entitled ‘Departee Information, that is meant to warn Afghans considering leaving before completing their resettlement. It reminds them that, on base, they can get their immigration paperwork processed and even cash to help pay for travel to their destination in the United States.”
— … Yet despite loosing such an enormous source of money and other assistance, the Afghans still thought it was somehow necessary to walk away, which is very worrisome.
— The report also states, “Immigration experts say Afghans who leave the bases are not breaking U.S. laws and military officials have no legal authority to hold law-abiding Afghans against their will at any of the eight locations hosting 53,000 Afghans who fled the Taliban on U.S. evacuation flights.” [Note: Why do they not have the authority to do so?!]
